I picked UP these Two St. Gaudens 1933 Gold Pieces Yesterday at the LCS. I did not know when I purchased them that they were illegal to Own in the USA. Comment below what you Think I should do. Should I just keep them and hide them away ??
Thanks to this post I did some research and learned about a whole substory regarding the 1933 Double Eagles! Very interesting stuff... There are only 13 known 1933 eagles in existence!
Cool copy and thanks for the impetus to learn some more about coin history!
Thank You @stnwllstrtgc that is a nice compliment and the perfect reason to be on STEEMIT and to encourage others to Bring VALUE to the Table.................
When was it illegal to own gold in the US?
It had been illegal to own gold in the United States from 1933-1974, without a license. It has been legal since 1975. Its been legal for most of Human History it was illegal at one time in America from 1933 to 1974. But Since '74 you can buy all the Gold you want.
@gnarlyanimations 1933 Double Eagles are shrouded in Controversy. But these Two Aren't since they are 1 Oz. Silver Rounds that are copies of the 1933 St. Gaudens Design............
Steepshot
