We're they legally struck? Both the 1933 Eagle and Double Eagle (because of an oversight) were legally struck. A portion of the $10 Eagles entered circulation legally, including some of the 100 pieces sent to the Treasury for sale to the public (thus making them circulation issues). None of the 1933 $20 Double Eagles were legally released by the Mint except for two examples sent to the Smithsonian for the National collection. Since these were not struck for commemorative or collector-only purposes, they should be considered "for circulation" and the $10 Eagles are legal to own, which has never been disputed.

Always pressing the limit on Photoshop. What new thing can I do next? The neat thing is after you edit the fields off a coin, then you can save and just move it onto a new background.

I've been using it for 20 years and still learning new stuff. Its to the point where my brain is trying to come up with the next best thing, all the time. Anyone still using a screen saver on their monitor? I have lots of images for that. The 3-D ones work great on it. The size of 300 or less square will fill you screen and you can look deep into the screen and become:  Edited by coop

You just have to introduce it well. I was going to use a GIF on my 30K page, but the subject was a little iffy. It is a cow pole dancing. Funny, but just plain wrong for here.

Well they kept the work force in place then. That was a real bad year for jobs. Roosevelt started the WPA campaign to get work started again. https://www.history.com/topics/work...ministrationSorry, it was 1935. But an interesting story. Probably many people never heard of this? |

I think part of the problem creating disparity here lays with gold coin terminology and definition of same..
By 1933 is it really fair / correct to consider / define minted gold as "for circulation..?"
I was of the belief that for coinage / paper to be considered "for circulation," one could walk into a bank, or anyplace for that matter, and stand as equal a chance at receiving gold back as paper money..
In actuality though, when did banks stop "giving out" gold in any manner other than "on demand..?" Or further: When did the 'last' bank stop returning gold as a portion of your "change for a hundred" without being specifically requested to do so..? I'm fairly certain it was at least a bit prior to 1933..
I'm thinking at some point-in-time revolving around the last bank returning gold to you unrequested and the last person spending gold out-of-pocket for goods or a service the portion of the definition defining newly minted gold coinage as "for circulation" should have been changed to "fill in the blank," since for all intent and purpose gold coinage had already made the transition to collector status..
