<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2135888, member: 66&quot;]There were advertisements in the trade publications offering them for sale.&nbsp; Not a hushed back room deal where everyoe was sworn to secrecy.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But what does &quot;officially released&quot; mean?&nbsp; once coins were turned over to the cash window at the Mint they could be paid out over the counter to anyone requesting one.&nbsp; Would that be considered &quot;officially released&quot;?&nbsp; Because there were at least 68 of them in the Cash window during the time window between when you could exchange gold for gold, and when the final order came down to no longer pay out gold for any reason.</p><p><br /></p><p>And on the form letters the Treasury sent out to collectors informing them of what coins were available for purchase they wrote in that the 1933 eagles and double eagles have now been struck.&nbsp; this seems to imply that the Treasury would sell those coins as well.&nbsp; So if the Treasury was willing to sell them to collectors, would that be an &quot;official release&quot;?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
