<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1570149, member: 26302"]I agree as well. I believe most of the early gold up until the 1850's or so, and almost all of the small denomination gold, were from coins that stayed in the US. However, from what I have read, most of the late date gold coins that we now own were overseas in 1933 so therefor saved from being melted down and place in Ft Knox.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, everyone knows Ft Knox is almost all coin gold, and not 99% pure, right?

Btw, everyone knows Ft Knox is almost all coin gold, and not 99% pure, right? They simply melted down the coins and cast into ingots, without purifying the gold.[/QUOTE]
