[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 8578675, member: 73489"]Do you think these stashes are in the bank's vaults as part of the bank's reserves....or in SDBs belonging to individuals ? I think it's the latter. I think the bigger bank hoards were found in the 1950's thru 1970's. Er....I dunno. Just to use a common gold coin -- the 1924 Saint -- I think there are about 1.3 million of them so 0.1% of that would be only 1,300 for sale. [B][COLOR=#4d4dff]I think there are TENS of thousands of that coin for sale at any given time.[/COLOR][/B] I think your estimate is more accurate when the population is lower. [I]Which bank are you referring to ? [/I] I'm not aware of it unless you are referencing the 1983 El Salvador MTB Hoard which we presume came from some Central American banks but are only guessing. The records were lost, the people involved have passed on.[/QUOTE]
