<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2027601, member: 66&quot;]There is some question as to whether the Fenton coin is actually the Farouk coin.&nbsp; At least one person who was at the Palace sale and who saw the Farouk coin has said that it is not the same coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But there was a time window during which gold cons could be exchanged for other gold coins at the Cashiers Window at the mint.&nbsp; And there were some 1933 double eagle in the cashiers window at that time.&nbsp; Did they keep a record of what dates they distributed, or just dollar amounts?&nbsp; I&#039;ve never seen what the cashiers window books looked like.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Treasury also allowed collectors to purchase coins from them y mail for face value.&nbsp; They had circulars that listed what coins were available.&nbsp; At least one bears a notation from the Treasury that the 1933 eagles and double eagles have now been struck.&nbsp; Did this imply that they could now be ordered?&nbsp; It was before the cut off for allowing any gold coins to be distributed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
