There was also a $1 gold coin minted from 1849 to 1889 which contained .04837 troy ounces of gold. Also I meant to say 21.6 Karats for 90% gold 🔥🐉 Check out my video on gold eagles 👉🏽 ruclips.net/video/3BEVMbj0OBs/видео.html
Dude i just found out yesterday my dad stacks gold and silver now wich i think is awesome. I was at a family get together yesterday and idk if he knew before hand i stacked gold and silver as well but anyhow he called me over and was like i gotta show you some coins i got and at first i thought he had said corn and so i was thinking what the heck is my dad doing buying corn?! Hahaha lmbo but then he pulled out some coins he had bought out of his gun safe then i was like oh okay this is pretty awesome. Then he ask me if I had been buying any gold or silver and i said yes and told him what all i have and he said okay just pace yourself with it and dont buy too much but anyhow i thought that was pretty awesome to say the least. Now i know me and my dad have something in common
Love that classic American Gold...great to stack in my opinion. I know they don't pull as much premium but you usually don't have to pay the high premiums either. When I order random dates and they send me a 1880, I am just so impressed with holding a 140 year old coin. Where has that thing been for 140 years??? Thanks SD...great video!!!
Adding this to my "Community Classics" playlist. Very informative video with a lot of very good history and information. And personally...I consider pre-1933, sovereigns, and 20 francs as a staple for every serious gold stacker. Cheers!
This is a really good video ... I appreciated the history content! One slight adjustment - you said that when people turned in their gold they would get fiat currency, well back then that was real currency not fiat. We didn't go off the gold standard until years later.
Braden right nixon took us off but remember they confiscated all of the gold certificates as well. I’m pretty sure banks wouldn’t give you gold anymore as it was illegal to own 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 that's fine but silver currency you were paid in for your gold was still real money in the 1930s. It wasn't fiat money at that stage in history is my point.
I avoided pre-33 stuff for many years. Now I’ll pick it up whenever I can get it at melt, regardless of condition, just to have that metal content and history.
I love pre-33 gold. The historical value plus the designs are a winning combination. Yeah it's 90%, but still that's so close to a full ounce. Thanks for the video.
Pre 1933 gold coins had some great designs like the Saint Gaudens Double Eagle! But did you know that when the first 1883 V nickels came out, they didn't have the word cents on the back! So people were gold plating them and passing them off as 5 dollar gold pieces! No one realize at that time that they were nickels because all they had on the reverse was V, the Roman numeral for 5!
Gosh Dragons, while Gold is Gold and right now any Gold is in demand in a normal market it really just depends on what your local shops buy and sell them for. As you know these coins can be found on eBay for a good value but LCSs like mine aren’t keen on them so I’ve not bought any but they are beautiful and I see a place for them in a more mature stack. Great video.
Totally agree. You can say the same for Europe. Except gold has never been illegal here. Any gold fulfilling the investment gold criteria at spot is good gold!
I said I am addicted to pre 33. I have no bullion. I just love the old stuff, they will be worth more than weight some day but I love my 90 too. Thank for this episode.
Ah the old timey government corruption really makes me feel nostalgic. I'm glad the government has kept up with their corruption all these years later. It really warms the heart.
In my experience the modern commemorative half eagles (1984-current) can typically be had for less premium than the pre-1933 versions. Also, there are Mexican equivalents that can be had for typically a little less premium: 2 pesos = $1 gold coin 5 pesos = $2.50 quarter eagle 10 pesos = $5 half eagle 20 pesos = $10 eagle 50 pesos = 1.205 ounces of gold, also called a "centenario" (no equivalent of double eagle, that I know of) The 2 and 5 pesos are typically much cheaper than their US equivalents.
Silver Dragons great video and very informative. I would prefer pre-33 gold because early American coins are much rarer than any modern issue bullion coin. They survived a lot longer and what stands out to me all gold coins before 1834 had more gold in them than their face value.
IMHO the reverse of the Saint-Gaudens is the epitome of numismatic Art. Something about it just does it for me. Gotta get me some! Great Content again. Stay Safe Copper Dragon.....Oh thats right that was for April 1st only.
Thank you so much for responding. My sister and I have been listening to ur vids. We bought silver bars. I’m ordering a scale to weigh them for authenticity. I was wondering if acid was good to use. I saw another vid that said if you’re collecting and plan to sell u should not use acid cause it burns the silver. Thanks again. U have new subscribers!
@Gold Stacking retail stores that buy whole sale to sell to the public, use ecommerce, or sell across borders will be affected. In the world of gold bullion
you can get pre-33 Austrian 100 Corona 90% gold coins for near spot very easily...They cost less than U.S pre-33 and contain more gold (.9806 Troy oz Gold weight per coin). They are a great stacking coin for those looking for weight only.
Awesome video. I seem to learn a lot from ya. Can’t wait to hold the coin in my hand. I do like to think of who held this coin, same with my constitutional silver along with Morgan and Peace Dollars. They all have a story to tell. Keep the videos coming!!
Silver Wookie Ot should be there shortly my friend I believe I sent the tracking. you might not know who all held it in their hand but you know I did 😂 I pumped out this video right before I packaged it up 🔥🐉
I think one of the most important points that was missed in this video, stems off of the fact that the executive order also stated "gold coins having recognized special value to collectors of rare and unusual coins", which protected recognized gold coin collections from legal seizure and likely melting. This fact in itself is probably the most important factor when thinking about stacking in this economic climate and hedging against a potential future confiscation. Federal law clearly states even today, that any gold bullion can be confiscated in the event of national crisis.
Another fun fact (if you don't mind me posting these) is that the gold collected by the Federal Reserve was melted down and turned into ingots for deposit into Fort Knox which I think was specially built for this purpose. Some interesting RUclips videos on the subject you can look up.
Awesome video Dragons!! Do you think that pre-33 gold is a good buy in 2024? And do you think that the foreign gold will be as valuable as the pre-33 gold coins one day soon?? Numismatic values or premiums keep rising in both foreign and pre-33 gold coins.😎👍
I like the designs on the pre 33 gold more than the gold bullion coins now. Don’t get me wrong the design in the gold coins now is nice but I like the pre 33 designs better.
the fact that gold price was jacked up to $35 was unfair, but one could invest the $20.67 of confiscated gold into dow jones index fund and be richer than holding gold today, over $4000. the problem is that index funds didn't exist then, but one could pull it off with some smart stock picks. not defending roosevelt or shilling stocks. this is just what i would do if they confiscated gold from me
First the pre 33 US gold is a good stacking coin when you keep a couple of things in mind. First, only buy coins that are NOT cleaned and are in AU or BU condition. Next, do not buy coins with numismatic premiums or special rare varieties. The regular coins in the AU and BU condition are beautiful and fun to fondle and fawn over. Also, the coins in my mentioned categories will be much easier for you to sell at a good price. As far as numismatics ? Unless you are a top expert, you will simply get sucker punched on prices coming AND going.
Should I buy any silver or gold now Everything is overpriced that’s available ASE at $23-29 rounds at $ 7 over spot you name it What’s reasonable. What to do at this time.
buy if you feel like it or don't if you don't feel like it, I bought an ASE today on ebay for 23.51. I feel like if you would pay 4 over spot at 19 why not pay 8 over at 15.
Silver is a tough play...it is different today due to so much of it used in industrial applications...I'm all gold, if money is tight start small...it is a long term wealth preservative, so I wouldn't stack with the mindset of making money
Another fun fact was that the Indian Head on the 1907 and later Eagles was not an Indian at all. The person who was the model for the coin was of Greek heritage from what I understand..
I do not have any and would love to have a collection. (have a California 2.5 token) 1973 My mom bought in WoorthWorths, Prob for sure a fake, but paid like $7.00 for it at the time.
I love 90%. You can gingle those in hand with no problems!! 😅😅😅 And I love the history they carry also. But definitely not shiny as the pure 999.9 pieces. 🙂🙂
I’m new to this. Is there a reason to keep the coins in those containers? Won’t it still be the same amount of gold content even if the coins just gets a little dirty?
Hi Sliver Dragons. Thank you for another great video. Why is Antiqued silver so expensive? How much more effort does it take to make a proof round instead of a BU? If you've already covered these in other videos let me know.
You did leave out some very important details on the 1933 and below. Because a few gold coins were minted in 1933. But on to the lonely small gold coins. First but not least, the $1 gold which came in 3 different types. The first and third dollars were fairly non-descriptive , but the second one is a collectors dream. This one is fairly rare and carries a hefty premium whereas the first and third can be had for around spot plus a small premium. The second will cost you a hefty premium over spot. The other coin was the $3 coin. Now this was definitely cost you a very large premium, often 2x spot. The reason is its rarity. They were a limited number minted, thus the high price. Then there are the Stellars. These are what we call a pattern coin and worth many times over spot.
Got a bit tired of all the Sovereigns so I got my first pre 1933 American Eagle, also a Liberty Head, recently. I really like it and in case the economic situation allows me to contiue to stack, I will certainly get more of them. Really beautiful, my new favourite coin. I'm wondering though, what's the main size that people in the US stack? Quarter, Half, Full or Double? If you take the Sovereign, it's the full one, not the half, not the double, that most people stack.
The st guadens and the indian are my favorite.😊i have found pre 33,s premiums are way more stable.granted if you get a nice one you may get stabbed on numistatic value but off dates and higher circ #,s there are deals.history is big ,like morgans.
$10 gold liberty eagle and Indian head over 1/2 oz American Gold Eagles all day, any day. I like the history behind them and love the design much more. The AGE is alright but very bland to me. Thanks for the video 👍🏼
I think if you look around, you can find it for less than the bullion you mentioned (maybe not now but when things return to normal). If you use eBay bucks, you can get them well below spot. It also represents some great history! Give it a try DS!
Hasn't always been that way. Before the shutdown, I went to coin shows and bought pre 33 gold at or below spot. Can't do that now, no coin shows and ebay prices are too high. But it was not that long ago that you could buy a very nice slabbed St. Gaudens 20 dollar gold piece MS65 at $1,800. Can't do that now!
Pre-'33 gold is also known as Legacy Gold. I don't have any myself but my dad has a pre-'33 Eagle and Double eagle he had mounted on a gold pendent back in the eighties and I might be inheriting them when he passes. Don't forget silver was also banned in 1934 but of course silver coins were still allowed to circulate.
There was also a $1 gold coin minted from 1849 to 1889 which contained .04837 troy ounces of gold. Also I meant to say 21.6 Karats for 90% gold 🔥🐉 Check out my video on gold eagles 👉🏽 ruclips.net/video/3BEVMbj0OBs/видео.html
Also a three dollar coin from 1854 to 1889, but they come at very high premiums even cleaned or damaged.
I’m addicted to stacking pre-33 gold.. i can’t get enough of it. Those $5 gold pieces are my favorite
Gold Is GOLD. They are great to have! Love those Pre-33!!!
Dude i just found out yesterday my dad stacks gold and silver now wich i think is awesome.

al sk8's wow that is so cool!!!! my dad has none 😂🔥🐉
4 years later I’m watching this! Now with spot being at all time highs, pre 33 is a great buy right now, especially with all the sales!
Pre 33 gold is beautiful, and like you said, the premiums are "usually" pretty reasonable. Great info, thanks for sharing!
Love that classic American Gold...great to stack in my opinion. I know they don't pull as much premium but you usually don't have to pay the high premiums either. When I order random dates and they send me a 1880, I am just so impressed with holding a 140 year old coin. Where has that thing been for 140 years??? Thanks SD...great video!!!

Fantastic video! Everything was explained thoroughly and it was a pleasure to see one up close. I’m gonna buy a few of these around bonus time.
This is a fantastic video. I've seen these coins and I looked them but now I love them! I'll be able to acquire more fractional gold now.

That's correct, fiat currency is a modern day term. In fact most people that are 10 to 20 years older than me dont even know what fiat means.
been lovin' pre '33 since pre '86 and it don't lose its luster my friend
I avoided pre-33 stuff for many years. Now I’ll pick it up whenever I can get it at melt, regardless of condition, just to have that metal content and history.
Vertical Stacker oh yeah stack that weight! 🔥🐉
Yeah where are ya buying at melt buddy????
I love pre-33 gold. The historical value plus the designs are a winning combination. Yeah it's 90%, but still that's so close to a full ounce. Thanks for the video.
Gorgeous gold coin, love your little video clips. Great job 👏
It grabs you. The History is just icing on the cake. But it is recognizable straight away...
What a very informative and great video. Thank you keep up the good work
Great video, thanks for sharing! I’m definitely more of a coin collector than stacker. I have a 1901 $10 Gold Piece graded MS62 and I love it!
Great video, very informational good job dragons keep it up!
I just picked up an 1881 1/2 Eagle NGC AU55. Cool coins!
This is such a helpful video. Had no idea about most of what was presented. I guess you are morphing into GoldDragons 33!

@@SilverDragons47
Back then they didn't use the word scam but they used the word bamboozled! I was bamboozled or douped out of it!
Adore this color and pattern, it's so magnetic!
Much of the pre-'33 gold left the country after the Executive Order. The Kennedys, for example, shipped all their gold to vaults in Europe.
great video, I'd love to get my hands on a Gold Buffalo, but I might go with the $20 Pre-1933 Gold Coin
thosetwodudes both are great options!!! 🔥🐉

Thanks for the info! Very interesting!
Started my stacking journey with 15 Double eagles and two monster boxes ASE's back in 1994. Sold a house and put my money into gold/silver.
I love pre 33, European 20F and Sovereigns
Great video. Thanks!
I love pre33 double eagles, especially from the mid 1800s as I cannot help but fantasize about what the coin I am holding has seen...
I just saw an episode on "American Book of Secrets " about this. It was very fascinating.
Gina R that is super cool!!! 🔥🐉
Always stack pre 33, at least for me.. both Historical and investment purposes
In my experience the modern commemorative half eagles (1984-current) can typically be had for less premium than the pre-1933 versions.
Also, there are Mexican equivalents that can be had for typically a little less premium:
2 pesos = $1 gold coin
5 pesos = $2.50 quarter eagle
10 pesos = $5 half eagle
20 pesos = $10 eagle
50 pesos = 1.205 ounces of gold, also called a "centenario" (no equivalent of double eagle, that I know of)
The 2 and 5 pesos are typically much cheaper than their US equivalents.
This is true , right now you can get gold billion coins for less than pre 33 gold.
I do and bullion and all across the board and silver and proofs ! I take them all !
Silver Dragons great video and very informative. I would prefer pre-33 gold because early American coins are much rarer than any modern issue bullion coin. They survived a lot longer and what stands out to me all gold coins before 1834 had more gold in them than their face value.

Great video! keep up the good work! I would like to buy some pre 33 but it is easier to get some sovereigns or francs at spot price here in Europe.
Love them. I have none of those. Can’t wait for the market to shake out the sky is falling people. Wish my guy was open so I could look. Thanks
Cant get enough of the 2.50 Indian Heads as well...
I love pre 33! Better for resale to get raw graded or not? Grade some and not all?
1/2 liberty with indian headress was left out..very nice coin.
Why do you cal it stacking ? What is stacking ?
It's building a vast number of something. Imagine a stack of coins.
Do you use an acid kit to test metals purity?
Je Suis Adir never. take it into a dealer and use their sigma machine if you need to do that but most coins have the purity stamped 🔥🐉
Thank you so much for responding. My sister and I have been listening to ur vids. We bought silver bars. I’m ordering a scale to weigh them for authenticity. I was wondering if acid was good to use. I saw another vid that said if you’re collecting and plan to sell u should not use acid cause it burns the silver. Thanks again. U have new subscribers!
Nice video and history lesson. Thank you!
Upnorth Collector thanks for watching! 🔥🐉
I started with gold before I got in to silver 68 gold coins then started to stack silver now I love my silver
If less than 24k it is taxable in some jurisdictions like canada.

I like the Mexican gold pesos a little more. The lettering on the edge is gorgeous. But I’m sure I will get into pre 33 sometime in the future
Nice! Thanks for this fun fact video 😄

Fiat Destroyer that is a great goal! 👍🏽🔥🐉
What about the $1 gold coin?
mobilerocker yes there was one for sure. less well know but almost 1/20th of an ounce 👍🏽🔥🐉
I have some pre 33 gold (the oldest coin is close to 300 years old) but I don't have any US pre 33. I do have a couple of coins on my to buy list.
I like the designs on the pre 33 gold more than the gold bullion coins now. Don’t get me wrong the design in the gold coins now is nice but I like the pre 33 designs better.
Good stuff
7:22 you had me dead there XD
Carson City gold coins are awesome! Right out of the gold camps of Nevada and California.
On pre 33 spot price is one thing but a bu or au condition is more money and a great collectable
the fact that gold price was jacked up to $35 was unfair, but one could invest the $20.67 of confiscated gold into dow jones index fund and be richer than holding gold today, over $4000. the problem is that index funds didn't exist then, but one could pull it off with some smart stock picks. not defending roosevelt or shilling stocks. this is just what i would do if they confiscated gold from me

I really like the 24 ^ gold got to be 4ninesfine👍
Why?
How much you bought the PRE 33?Where can i bought this coin?I LOVE IT...please help..
I'm back and forth between purchasing a $20 double eagle in either BU or AU. What do you recommend?
Nice Coin. Yah I like your beliefs, on why pre-1933 Bullion is a good idea. Jealous of the Coin.
Just started looking at pre 33 now. Seems premiums are high. But they are so cool. Guess I will sleep on it.
I love 90%. You can gingle those in hand with no problems!! 😅😅😅
And I love the history they carry also.
But definitely not shiny as the pure 999.9 pieces.

Hasn't always been that way. Before the shutdown, I went to coin shows and bought pre 33 gold at or below spot. Can't do that now, no coin shows and ebay prices are too high. But it was not that long ago that you could buy a very nice slabbed St. Gaudens 20 dollar gold piece MS65 at $1,800. Can't do that now!
Drake Savory typically premiums are lower if you know where to look 🔥🐉
I love pre 33 gold
The U.S. equivalent of the gold sovereigns. You can put a collection togeather with less worry of counterfits.
Pre-'33 gold is also known as Legacy Gold. I don't have any myself but my dad has a pre-'33 Eagle and Double eagle he had mounted on a gold pendent back in the eighties and I might be inheriting them when he passes. Don't forget silver was also banned in 1934 but of course silver coins were still allowed to circulate.
murp61 legacy gold yes for sure! 🔥🐉
