<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2669179, member: 66&quot;]Collectors would know gold coins were worth considerably more than their face value and wouldn&#039;t spend them.&nbsp; A great many non collectors were under the impression that gold coins were illegal to own and that they would get in trouble if they tried to spend them.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure in many cases they probably thought they were no longer legally spendable.&nbsp; Gold coins pretty much disappeared from circulation by mid 1935.&nbsp; Especially after the official gold value was increased and the $20 gold coin had $35 in gold in it.&nbsp; If your SBA had $1.75 in metal value would you spend it for a dollar?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
