[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 26814854, member: 73489"]Actually, it was probably 99.9% vs. 0.1%. Maybe even 99.99% vs. 0.01%. Assuming 75 million adults, that would mean either 750,000 people buying coins (doubtful) or 75,000. Heck, it could have been 0.001% or 7,500 folks or even 750 repeat offenders/addicts at 0.0001% :D The point being that it was a very narrow group that Woodin wanted to protect and Treasury said wasn't worth going after, whatever the number.:cigar: And Treasury noted in Section 20 that there was a 4-coin year/mint limit on the $2.50 Quarter Eagles, the coin that most of the "masses" would probably gravitate for affordability reasons if they were looking to buy/hoard.[/QUOTE]
