<p>[QUOTE=&quot;swagge1, post: 2066287, member: 22402&quot;]I recently bought a 1927 St. Gaudens $20 double eagle.&nbsp; This coin is not rare amongst the series as over 2.9 million were minted.&nbsp; How did this coin, and all the other pre 1933gold in existance survive until today?&nbsp; Are these surviving coins a result of individuals and corporations who defied the laws for many decades?&nbsp; Were many of these coins held in bank vaults and not melted and released in GSA events?&nbsp; I know that many survived due to hoards being discovered in various places, but I&#039;m curious as to how the vast majority of pre 1933 gold was not melted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
