I thought some 1964-D's were struck but subsequently destroyed.  And isn't there a rumour that one was displayed at one time in the LBJ Library ?

Here’s where I need more literature. My recollection is that 1964-D PEACE dollars were struck and subsequently ALL (yeah, the Mint has a great track record on this) melted. I am also aware that a 1964 Morgan HUB (not die) was discovered. But if 1964-D Morgans were ever struck, I need to be pointed toward that evidence.

No, that's wrong. Where did you get that from?

However, misconceptions like that just based on rumors and innuendo could lead to a slick scam artist possibly taking advantage of an uninformed collector as I mentioned for the Carr 1964 Morgan, and one of the reasons I think it's a really borderline overstrike. Would the "average collector" know to do some checking and find out there was no 1964 Morgans struck? ... "that detective, is the right question ... program terminated". 

[Source for my info: "A Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars" by Q David Bowers, 6th Edition, pgs 270-278. Bowers is very respected and a well-known expert on Morgans.  He was present at the US mint doing research on Morgans when the master hubs for the 1964 mentioned were discovered, and when they searched the mint for any working dies which were not found, nor there being any record of even test strikes.]
