I have one of those '29 dollars in my laugh bag. The counterfeiter actually did a pretty creditable job.

Me not being a peace dollar collector had to look on PCGS to make sure that date wasn't minted. I never re-called seeing one, so it did spark me to check on it. But that 64' does look good!! insane.gif

Wasn't the 1964 a proof-only issue? That's what I seem to recall... 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

From Wikipedia:

 

...The coin almost made a return in 1964, when Congress approved the mintage of 45 million new silver dollars to fulfill the needs of the booming casino industry in Nevada. The decision was controversial due to a critical silver shortage in 1965, which led to widespread hoarding of silver coinage. In response to the shortage, Congress passed the Coinage Act of 1965, which authorized the removal of silver content from circulating coinage (except for the Kennedy half dollar) minted after December 31, 1964. But under pressure from some members of Congress from the Western states, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued an order on May 15, 1965 to resume production of the Peace Dollar (dated 1964 to allow silver to be included). 316,076 Peace Dollars were struck at the Denver mint that month, before Congress overrode the Presidential order and demanded that production cease. All the coins produced to that point were ordered to be melted. Although rumors persist that some examples still survive, owning them is illegal, making it unlikely that anyone who does own one will ever come forth publicly...

Ole LBJ must have had a thought of sending those to the Hunt Brothers who tried to hoard all the silver back in 80's, driving the price to record high only to have the bottom drop out bumpit.gif
