1964-D Peace dollar -- the coin the US Mint struck 316,076 of, then melted every one. Full history, no confirmed survivors.
No genuine 1964-D Peace dollar is known to survive in private hands. Mint records confirm 316,076 were struck at the Denver Mint in May 1964, but US Mint Director Eva Adams attested none were released to the public, and all were reportedly melted. Any example offered for sale should be treated as highly suspect -- there is no verified market value because there is no verified surviving specimen.
316,076 struck — against the other key dates in the Peace Dollar series.
Bars are scaled to keep the smallest mintages visible; the exact figure is printed on every row. Mintage is coins struck, not coins surviving — melting and circulation wear thin those numbers further.
Struck as a one-off revival of the Peace dollar design in 1964, authorized amid a national coin shortage, then cancelled before release.
316,076 were struck at the Denver Mint in May 1964 per official Mint records, but none were ever officially released -- US Mint Director Eva Adams confirmed this publicly.
All are reportedly melted; despite persistent rumors, no genuine surviving example has ever been authenticated, making it one of the great 'coins that don't officially exist' in US numismatics.
