<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24545981, member: 101855&quot;]This is speculation, but it won&#039;t surprise me if some guy like Izzy Switt, who is famous for &quot;boosting&quot; the 1933 double eagles from the mint, also recused these coins. The speculation was that Izzy went to the Philadelphia Mint with a double eagles and had an insider switch his double eagles for new ones each year. </p><p><br /></p><p>The situation was that these coins were struck, but never issued. They sat in the treasury vaults until FDR&#039;s gold surrender order. At that time, the gold coins which were collected and those which the government had on hand were melted and cast into gold bars. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for sources about these coins, I&#039;ll check my library. I have a couple of books that provide information by date for double eagles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
