LARGE Dollar size 38 mm, 1 1/2 inches
In May 1965 the White House finally ordered some to be produced and the Denver Mint soon minted 316,076 of the coins which carried a 1964 date and a design identical to the Peace silver dollar last minted from 1921-1935
Shortly after the first mintage, an order went out to destroy them
By Jaime Hernandez - May 21,2012 In the 1960s it was still possible to receive Silver dollars at face value from the bank
The coins were struck on 90% silver planchets, had an identical design to the Peace dollars struck from 1921-1935 (with the exception of the date) and had a D mintmark on the reverse
The weight of the 1964-D Peace dollars included the scrap and webbing from which the coins were struck to try to obtain an accurate weigh in. There were several U.S
Others have mentioned that in 1965 Mint employees were given the opportunity to exchange the 1964-D Peace dollars at face value when they were originally struck
a Mint employee could have replaced the coins with any other pre-1964 Peace Morgan dollars since they had the exact same weight
