We cannot guarantee that any coin is exempt from confiscation by the government. Historically, gold coins with a "recognized special value to collectors of rare and unusual coins," were exempt in the
gold confiscation of 1933. Today, most experts agree that pre-1933 gold coins are considered non-confiscatable by the government and that bullion coins are the most vulnerable to confiscation. To view pre-1933 coins from Capital Gold Group, visit our
