<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 2066307, member: 11854"]The Executive Order allowed individuals to hold up to $100 face value gold without any threat of confiscation or persecution. It also allowed folks to retain gold coinage of numismatic value. Essentially, this loophole was so large as to allow virtually all gold struck by the US Mint to be preserved. Also, quite a bit of US gold was stored overseas and this was, of course, not subject to any melting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
