Not unreasonable given the mass of unidentified material at the Philadelphia Mint. There are likely many more that the Mint's curator has located.

 

Good that JD and Dave B. were there and saw this.

How quickly we forget that SaintGuru announced this many, many years ago.

It was ATS, but before HighSociety types like me, you and Mark found the place lacked the proper consistency of Grey Poupon and were forced to no choice but make our feelings known and depart. You may remember that it was a series of stories about his Mint visits. One of the names above was part of that.

I thought he was talking about a visit to the NNC in Washington.

And Phil.

Can you provide a link to a reference to 1964-dated Morgan and/or Peace dollar hubs, dies and/or galvanoes?

Great! Do we have photos of what the design looked like? Dcarr has claimed in the past that we can't be certain if design modifications were made, but it looks like this is not the case.

There are photos in the article. The reverse is very close to the C reverse hub design, which was used from 1879-1904. The obverse looks better than the IV obverse hub used in 1921, and more like the III obverse used late 1878-1904. The peripheral lettering doesn't look as sharp, though.

So far the only clear image I have seen is the 1964 Morgan obverse. Hoping that other pictures will be forthcoming soon.

I'm not sure what you saying that I said, but what I said was not that.

 

It was always thought that it was pretty likely the 1964 Peace Dollar was re-sculpted by Gasparro. There would have been no way to guess what the result of that re-sculpting would look like, unless an original proto showed up. Of course, now it looks like we will get to see that sculpture in the form of a galvano at least.

I keep that in the chiller on my Trophy back-up yacht that I keep in the library room, next to the Trophy Rolls Royce back up.

They said they found the master hubs too, that would give us a good idea of what the final coin looked like.
