QUERY: EARLY 1970S ARTICLE ON GOLD DISK SOUGHT

I recently spent 12+ hours reading microfilmed copies of Coin World from 1971 to 1974 looking for an article. I failed to find it. It may have been an advertisement, but I was sure it was an article.

The article (or ad) was about a gold disk. It was to be made from raw gold dust, mixed with an epoxy and pressed into a disk. This was to circumvent the gold ownership laws of the day. Since Americans could own gold starting Dec. 31, 1974, it is unlikely that it would have been in Coin World after that date. It could have been in Numismatic News, but I did not have access to them.

Does anyone else remember this article?

On another point….It was interesting to read the headlines between 1971 and 1974. You could take the headlines from then, and just reprint them today. The headline subjects included Dollar Devaluation, getting rid of the Cent, Gold (and silver) hitting new highs, Gold and silver fluctuating wildly, investing in gold and silver (pro and con) and counterfeits. The more things change….
