[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1955522, member: 112"]In the course of my searching and researching I often run across things that I think worth keeping so I create my own files for them and save them. And every now and then something will come up that causes me to revisit those files. Your request Michael has prompted one of those times. So, Conder, Matt, or anybody else who may have knowledge or pictures of these, (what will follow), please speak up if you do. Back in 2009 I received an email about an upcoming auction that had, shall we say, some unusual items. It concerned another small GSA hoard that was found in US Mint vaults in 2006. Only this time it was a hoard of 5,000 gold coins. Yes, gold coins, graded and slabbed by NGC with the GSA designation on the label. Now I'd never heard of this hoard being discovered before and I'd certainly never heard of any gold GSA coins, slabbed by NGC or otherwise. So when I checked the auction I was notified of by email and found this - [url]https://www.scoins.com/ViewLot.aspx?LotId=13404[/url] - I sent an email to the auction company requesting pictures of this coin in its NGC slab, showing both sides of the full slab. I never received a reply to that email. So my questions, has anyone else ever even heard of this GSA hoard of gold coins ? And, has anyone else ever seen pictures, or know where such pictures can be located, of these gold GSA coins in their NGC slabs ? If so, I would much appreciate and such pictures for my own files, and Michael, perhaps you would too. edit - it may be worth noting that I have never seen or read any other reference, anywhere, about these gold GSA coins.
