<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 25162861, member: 77639&quot;]Thanks for posting.&nbsp; Really valuable info.&nbsp; The vast majority of the gold coins (about 77%) are from the P mint.&nbsp; Second is the S mint with 16%.&nbsp; So, the value of coins from those mints for certain years and grades may go down.&nbsp; Denver with 6% is at some risk.&nbsp; Gold coins from other mints (CC, O, C and Dahlonega) are at very little risk of decline in value as the hoard makes its way to market.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although it could be bad news for some collectors that have some of the gold issues in the hoard, it will be good news for collectors who haven&#039;t yet been able to afford them.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is that Dave Bowers is writing a book, which may be finished, on the hoard.&nbsp; But it won’t be released until the last sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>My wild speculation is that the hoard originated in Europe.&nbsp; Huge quantities of U.S. gold coins went there immediately after FDR called-in gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>SB has been very clever in their marketing.&nbsp; Releasing the hoard over several years and giving parts of it sub-names maximized income to the consignor.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
