<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 4853120, member: 66"]No they weren't demonetized, but since they had been called in in the gold recall, for many years they government considered them illegal to own. They even went so fare as to confiscate them from time to time. It came to a head back in the late fifties when they confiscated some from dealer Harry Foreman and he took the matter to court and won. That ended the confications.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
