<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3216511, member: 66&quot;]As I mentioned in the other thread this is the Neil Armstrong FAMILY collection.&nbsp; Some of the stuff may have belonged to Neil, but some belonged to other family members as well.&nbsp; haven&#039;t looked at everything but I saw some stuff that belonged to an S. K. Armstrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>Under the original order you could keep up to $100 worth of gold (at the time that would be about five oz)&nbsp; And you could keep gold coins as part of collection of coins.&nbsp; Later it was decided that any gold coins struck before I believe April 5th 1933 would be considered &quot;rare and unusual&quot; and could be held and imported without a license (still had to have a license to export).&nbsp; the only reason we got that exemption in the original order was because Roosevelt&#039;s Sec of the Treasury was a coin collector, and he collected gold coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It was a different time, most people thought the government could do no wrong so if they said you have to turn in your gold , the people thought it was their patriotic duty to do so.&nbsp; &quot;After all they must know what they are doing.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
