<p>[QUOTE="harrync, post: 3691076, member: 58588"]Back in the early '60's, US Customs refused me permission to import an AU CC $20 gold piece. Their rule was if Friedberg didn't say it was worth four times melt, import was refused. Ticked me off; but on the other hand, even though their Friedberg gave almost no premium for a CC mint mark on $20's, it was printed before the 1959 20 peso re-strikes. Original mintage of the 1959 was only 13,000, so Friedberg gave it a high value. So I got licenses to import rolls of 20 peso re-strikes at little premium over melt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
