Gold Standard Corp was founded in Kansas City, Missouri by Conrad J. Braun, circa 1977. He purchased gold from the U.S. Treasury, minted his own coins, and sold them to the public. The denomination of these coins (and notes as well) is the Gold Standard Unit. Along with promotional slogans like “Sound Commercial Banking”, “Denationalization of Money”, and “Free Choice of Currencies”, each coin bears the image of a different free-market economic theorist.
Coins were struck in gold, silver and platinum. This gold 1/2 oz proof is in uncirculated condition, and is quite rare and collectible.
