<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Omegaraptor, post: 3045388, member: 76105&quot;]On April 5, 1933, FDR signed Executive Order 6102 which required Americans to turn in most of their gold bullion, with the exception of collectible gold. This executive order later took the US off the gold standard, and gold restrictions remained until year-end 1974.</p><p><br /></p><p>This executive order also led to the rarity of several double eagle issues (including the famous 1933), the 1933 $10, and the 1929 $5.</p><p><br /></p><p>The date is now April 5, 2018, 85 years since. These issues are still considered valuable rarities, and the 1933 double eagle is still illegal to own with the exception of the Farouk coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, happy 85th![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
