Oh, I agree, the repeal of the Gold Reserve Act by President Gerald Ford in 1974 is the current law and what is now binding. But I think what the...
Yes, I see the government picked on the Quarter Eagle fans! As always, the government can get clumsy, and yes, there were ginormous loopholes to...
Upon skimming the memo (need more time to review it - OK, just finished it), it offers an interpretation of the Gold Reserve Act of 1934*, which...
Admittedly, I have yet to read the memo at the top of the thread - I will have to analyze it. But I was able to dig up - this is for future...
I'm busy doing some personal errands, but preliminarily I am not too convinced by a Treasury Department memo from many decades ago, primarily...
So as late as 1961 there were concerns about gold competing against the U.S. dollar by government officials, even though we have been assured that...
I believe you can post snippets under the fair use doctrine. Just take the most pertinent sections and feel free to post them. I suggest we play...

Well, to be fair the tarnish on your coin looks more uniform. Something about the tarnish on my coin seems off, like it's been exposed to a...
OK, I am not an expert here, so I looked at it with 30x magnification, and I just am not a fan of this tarnish - if that's what it is. I know...
Thanks for your responses. After reviewing this with a 5x loupe, it's possible it's just tarnish. I thought it might have been a liquid substance,...
I have looked at limited data, so perhaps it's best that I shut my trap (lesson in humility). I'm going by Indian Head gold coins on eBay. I...
So I take it the coin I posted has environmental damage, or would it straight grade? I assume it is damaged, since I tend to be conservative. It...

Apologies in advance for the poor photos, but this is the best I can do it seems with my phone. I got a Mercury dime that looks lustrous and mint...
