[Washington-Husky]

I'm still curious as to what happened in those decades from the start of the Depression (circa 1933) to about 1972, when I bought my first gold coin as a wild-eyed kid with a little extra paper route money to blow.

My parents told me that the government outlawed gold ownership, though I vividly remember during the 60's that you could buy "investment" grade gold coins even through mail order catalogues.

In any case, though I obviously love gold for its inherent charm and beauty (it's even more attractive than Martha Stewart!), I nevertheless fear the long arm of the government in matters relating to gold ownership. What difference does the price of an ounce of gold really matter, if you are outlawed (by government whim), from owning it in the first place?

Stash it.
