NEW BOOK: CONFISCATION: GOLD AS CONTRABAND

A new book has been published on a subject that hasn't gotten much coverage in the numismatic world outside of reporting on the 1933 double eagles. -Editor

Confiscation Gold as Contraband book cover Professional numismatist Kenneth R. Ferguson has released a new book on the confiscation of gold from American citizens between 1933 and 1975. Though this interlude in history is often overlooked or downplayed by both historians and economists, its significance to the modern coin dealer can't be overstated.

Ferguson takes readers step-by-step through the legal precedents established by President Roosevelt -- some of which remain on the books to this day -- and offers expert analysis on the ongoing and future relationship between gold and government.

"Confiscation: Gold as Contraband 1933-1975" is available now for $11.99 on Amazon.com. For a direct link, click here: http://amzn.to/2Gd2N5W .

Kenneth R. Ferguson received his master’s degree from the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin in 1973. He made his living as a professional coin dealer for over 40 years, serving as both President of the Texas Coin Dealers Association and Consultant to the American Numismatic Association. He has lived in Austin since 1966.
