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.
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.

Other dates and varieties in this series
Condition drives price more than any other factor on a coin like this — two examples of the same date can be worth very different amounts depending on wear and authentication.
The value table above is organized by grade for a reason — a coin's condition, not just its date, sets where it lands on that range. If you're not sure how to grade, a seller's photos and description should call it out.
A professionally graded (PCGS/NGC) example carries more certainty than a raw coin, and usually a small premium for it. Both are fine to buy — just factor grading into the price you're comparing.
Prices vary between individual sellers here, not one retailer's price list. Sort by price, check the seller's Metal Points and order history, and message the seller if photos don't show enough detail to grade confidently.
