1933 GOLD RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT

  Last week we mentioned Mark Van Winkle's article in
  the June 3, 2002 Coin World on "The Last Double Eagle"
  which pictures a printing of the executive order recalling
  "all gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates."

  Mark Van Winkle writes: "The Gold Recall Announcement
  in my article is a reproduction of an original 11 x 17
  broadside.  These were distributed to post offices throughout
  the nation in 1933.  I got the item from Barney Marus, who is
  the head of Heritage's Tangible Investment Division.  When he
  first had these reproduced some twenty years ago, he sent a
  copy to one of his clients who worked in a post office.  Just for
  grins he put his copy up on the bulletin board along with the
  wanted posters, etc.  One day a lady came in, who must have
  been at least 80 years old.  She looked the poster over very
  carefully and then exclaimed, "Oh damn! Not again!"
