<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 557438, member: 12789&quot;]Yes, but a lot of collectors in the USA managed to get the coin anyway.&nbsp; Ca. 1963 or so the treasury decided that coins created before 1958 were historical, so you could collect a 1957 sovereign, but not a 1964 example.&nbsp; Of course collectors could not equate such inane rules regarding gold ownership with other controlled substances like hashish etc. so they went ahead and ordered the coins.&nbsp; Some were seized by customs in the post, but if you went across the border and bought the coin and came back, chances were you were not going to be searched.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So as much as the sets came here without the gold coin, in other instances the gold coin came without the set - because it is what was wanted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
