The Context
The work begins with a real coin, place, symbol or historical moment and builds outward from that source.

The story behind the piece
The Ghost Dollar tells the story of the only Peace Dollar you can't own — except like this.
In May 1965, the Denver Mint struck 316,076 silver dollars dated 1964 — the last Peace Dollars ever made. They were never released. Every coin was ordered back to the melting pot, and to this day, not a single confirmed example exists. If one ever surfaced, it couldn't be legally owned. The 1964-D Peace Dollar is American numismatics' great ghost: struck, recorded, and erased.
This canvas print is the closest any collector will come. The composition holds both diagnostic marks of the forbidden coin in a single image — the obverse with its 1964 date catching the light, and the reverse with its D mintmark resting in shadow. A coin that exists only in mint records, given the wall presence it was never allowed to have.
Details
Collector note:
No physical coin is included — and in this case, none could be. All known 1964-D Peace Dollars were destroyed by the United States Mint, and private ownership remains unlawful. That is precisely what makes this artwork the only legal way to put the Ghost Dollar on your wall.
Each piece is an original work created through a collaborative process — human numismatic expertise and historical research directing AI-assisted rendering. Conceived, curated, and approved by the artist. The AI is the brush. The knowledge is human.
