MY head is spinning. I tried to find all the actions involved. Here is what I have.
Very few SD boxes were ever searched. The only time I am aware that they were mentioned is in Proclamation 2040 of 9 March 1933. Executive order 6102 Apr 5 1933 required the surrender of gold coin and certificates in 14 days. Executive order 6260 Aug 28, 1933 revoked 6102 but continued the ban, all to be turned in in 30 days. November 16, 1933, the surrender order was delared null and void by a court due to a technicalty. Executive order of Dec 28, 1933 was done right and required everything to be turned in one month. No exemption for quarter eagles. Executive order of Jan 11, 1934 allows collectors to have a maximum of 4 quarter eagles of each date, mint and design.
Here is a list of actions involved. I didn't complee it. I copied it.
