Coins Destroyed During the US Government Recall

Today, all US Mint gold coins struck from 1795 through 1933 are highly collectible, many are quite rare. When first minted, they were circulated to the public as the "money of the day," the overwhelming majority were worn out and melted down within a few years. The majority of surviving US gold coins were melted down when the US Government recalled gold from its citizens in 1933 during the Great Depression.

Millions of coins were melted in the 1980s! Literally millions of the surviving US Mint gold coins were melted down when gold soared to $850 an ounce. That's why US gold coins minted before 1933, trade at significant premiums today. Likewise, the circulating silver coinage completely disappeared in the 1980s when silver soared to the unprecedented high of $50/oz. The entire coin collecting hobby was changed forever during that decade. After the meltdowns, rare coins enjoyed a historic revival and have proven to be extremely profitable from the period of 1970 through the present. Today, the rarest and best preserved coins command top prices from Rare Coin collectors and investors.
