1964 Morgan silver dollar ???

[Dozer D]

Saw a commercial on TV the other night about the mint had produced a 1964 Morgan dollar. Is this for real, or is it a fake copy, .999 fine, one ounce AG.
Anyone see the same on TV, comments, or DONT EVEN WASTE YOUR MONEY scam.

Not familiar with this "coin" but it is not a US Mint product. There are private mints like the "Franklin Mint" etc that produce medals that some people call coins. They are mass marketed at huge premiums to their actual silver content, if any, to the non-informed, not to real coin collectors. IMO, a waste of money.

No it a bullion type item, not a US mint coin. I have seen the ads also.

There have been several private mint issues over the years. All are overpriced, or are plated base metal, depending on origin.

The US Mint almost produced Morgan Dollars in the ‘60’s. I do not recall the year, but it may have been 1964. Hubs and dies were produced with both Morgan and Peace Dollar designs. I honestly do not recall which coin publication I read it in, but that may be where the various private mints got their ideas from.

Time for more coffee.

This would be, at best, a fantasy coin.

There were 316,076 1964-D Peace dollars struck. They were supposed to all be melted and none released. None have surfaced. If any do, they will likely be seized by the U.S. government, much like the 1933 St. Gauden's $20's.

They actually did produce 1964 Peace Dollars, and then they melted them all down. I do not believe any survived.

I love coins like this. The Aluminum cent. The 1894 S dime. The 1804 dollar. MOST of the 19th century pattern coins came from a trunk of coins traded by the mint for 2 examples of the 1877 $50 gold coins.

a lot of the islands in the Pacific and Caribbean issue coins for all sorts of "commemoritive" purposes. they are not actually minted on those islands but struck in various private mints, with the island govenment authority, as non-circulating collectors coins. they pretty much have bullion value and that is all.... remember the collector plates and figurines your mother used to collect?...same thing....consider them beenie babys....
