Here is my only "old gold" Proof coin. The Type III Gold Dollar is the most common pre 1933 gold coin as Proof. The story was jewelers bought them. If true, there should be more impaired examples.

Here is my highest grade piece, an MS-67.

And this is my most under graded piece. This is graded MS-65; I think that it is better.

If this is the first public disclosure of a crime that happened on 7/16/2025 I'm think this gold is out of the country and possibly no longer American gold eagles (total.speculation).

> Question, if these coins were melted down is there anyway to trace the gold back to these particular coins?

Nope, and even if they weren’t melted down, there’s still no way to trace these particular coins. A haul like this is a thieve’s fantasy, arguably the most untraceable item someone could possibly steal.

And I stopped to take photos of these rusting pieces.
