<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 5174086, member: 26302"]For an example to the extent of this trade, I remember a story told by an old coin dealer. In the 1970s he was sent to Europe to buy gold US coins, since they were now legal here. He went to just one Swiss bank, and inquired if they had any. They discussed it, what was in their vaults, and came back with a price. When they gave him the price, they told him, "this is only good for the first 300,000 pieces".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
