1933 St gaudens Gold

Dollar Man,

I like how they eventually handled the first one, but I don't understand the reasoning behind how they have handled the other ones. I saw them all on display at the Denver ANA--what an ugly display for such magnificent coins--and could only shake my head in disbelief.

I suspect this issue is not settled. I am interested in your thoughts.

The mint should have upheld your Constitution and challenged it in the highest courts. My belief is that the elite have this 100-200 year window in which to hoard gold and other precious metals. When the world returns to the gold standard (by economic necessity OR revolution) the elite will still have the same power over us debt-slaves. In the words of George Harrison, "Nothing's gonna change my world." This will continue to happen for as long as people remain ignornant of finance/money.

this has been discussed many many times on this forum and it always seems to have different opinions from different individuals but if you read about the Farouk coin you will see there are very different situations on how and why it was able to be sold and legal to own that all the others found do not have. That one coin was given a export license which gave him the right to take it out of the country which in turn transferred ownership of the coin to Farouk. All others were never legal to own nor was ever supposed to have ever left the mint since they were minted after the law had passed. My opinion is one I have stated many many times on here and still have the same opinion, they are and have always been the property of the United States and even though I would hate to see the coins destroyed I feel they are theirs to do what they wish to.
