Remember, there is already precedent for this kind of seizure action here in the US; Executive Order 6102 [excerpt] "'hoarding' means the withdrawal and withholding of gold coin, gold bullion or gold certificates from the recognized and customary channels of trade. The term "person" means any individual, partnership, association or corporation."
"Section 2. All persons are hereby required to deliver on or before May 1, 1933, to a Federal Reserve Bank or a branch or agency thereof or to any member bank of the Federal Reserve System all gold coin, gold bullion and gold certificates now owned by them or coming into their ownership on or before April 28, 1933 ..."

From that date in 1933 to 1 January 1975, it was illegal for any US RESIDENT to own non-jewelry gold. From the crisis of the beginning of the Great Depression to the crisis of the COVID Pandemic, Presidential Executive Orders can be quite intrusive and dictatorial. Amazing how much the SWAMP will take when we do not resist!

Incorrect.

Any gold coin that was considered "collectible" was also legal to own.

FDR ran up against the coin collectors and backed down.

Which is a model for everyone to follow.

When FedGov yells frog, just say no.

And if you stand together, they will back down.

Sadly, especially on the conservative side, you will find any number of people willing to weasel, squirm and then give in while piously saying that they "respect the law". An illegal law should not be respected.

Locate Backbone.

Say no.
