Maybe the US did not need the gold anymore as the Legal Tender Act had been passed allowing Salmon P. Chase to print fake money for the Civil War.

After the War, Salmon Chase declared only Gold and Silver to again be legal tender, until FDR got in power.

I wonder what a 1905 5$ gold piece is worth?
