<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 4214963, member: 66&quot;]Well each person could keep up to 5 oz, and if you said your gold coins were part of a collection you could keep those as well (except you couldn&#039;t have more than four of the same date/mint of quarter eagles).&nbsp; And if you didn&#039;t turn in your jewelry they didn&#039;t really go after you.&nbsp; Possibly the same for objects of art but I&#039;m not sure about that.&nbsp; In short there were ways for many people to keep some gold.&nbsp; And 5 oz of gold in 1933 would be like the purchasing power of something like $5,000 to $10,000 today.&nbsp; Most people could have held onto that in the depression if they wanted to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
