<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1915314, member: 26302&quot;]I wonder how much is just physically unknowable? Who would ever know how many bags were brought back from overseas? Who would ever know how many of them might have gotten melted, and which one survived but are just in someone&#039;s sdb? I have some in mine, unslabbed. Now only one is scarcish date, but none are slabbed and they probably will not see the light of day for a few more decades at least. I am a small timer. I have heard some families put these away by the bag. Also, I do believe there are still some banks in Europe who still hold some of these in their vaults.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think its a wonderful project, and wish you the best of luck. I am just throwing out some issues I have thought about before for anyone attempting such a project. The quantities were massive. Did you read the passage by David Bowers when he went to Europe in the 70&#039;s? He was at a single bank and asked to buy some double eagles. When they gave him the quote they said, &quot;well this price is only good for the first 200,000 coins. Any more and we would need to discuss further&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
