1933 Post Office Gold Broadside
1933 Post Office Broadside Notifying the Public of the Requirement to Turn In All Gold Coins and Bullion to Their Banks. Very Fine.

NUMISMATIC AMERICANA

1933 Post Office Paper Poster Notifying the Public of the Requirement to Turn In All Gold Coins and Bullion to their Banks. Overall dimensions 17.5 x 22.5 inches. Document displays at 10 x 15 inches. Very Fine. Remarkable document instructing citizens that President Franklin D. Roosevelt had mandated that all gold coins, not of numismatic significance, be redeemed for silver-based currency within four weeks. After that period violators still possessing gold coins or bullion could be jailed for up to 10 years and/or fined up to $10,000.

The most relevant parts of the text include: UNDER EXECUTIVE ORDER / OF THE PRESIDENT / ISSUED APRIL 5, 1933 / ALL PERSONS ARE REQUIRED TO DELIVER / ON OR BEFORE MAY 1, 1933 / ALL GOLD COIN, GOLD BULLION, AND / GOLD CERTIFICATES NOW OWNED BY THEM TO / ANY MEMBER BANK OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. Further: CRIMINAL PENALTIES OF EXECUTIVE ORDER / $10,00 FINE OR 10 YEARS IMPRISONMENT, OR BOTH, AS / PROVIDED IN SECTION 9 OF THE ORDER. The poster was ordered by James A Farley, Postmaster General, and facsimile signed by William H. Woodin, Secretary of the Treasury, and was intended to be displayed in all United States Post Offices.

Three old vertical and two horizontal folds are noted. A tiny area at the lower right is affected by pressure damage and a 1/16 inch area of paper loss, but this is barely noticeable, and does not significantly affect the appearance of the document. Impressive and almost unbelievable in today's political climate.
