<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24656718, member: 101855&quot;]I think that the gold content and the price the British had to pay for the U.S. gold pieces were the determining factors. The “old tenor gold coins” that were minted prior to August 1834 are all rare because of the melting. The lighter Classic Head gold pieces are much more common. According to the experts, the U.S. did not get a lot of the old gold coins that it converted into the new pieces. The old pieces were exported.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
