But the Treasury Export letter was the Smoking Gun that it may NOT have been unlawfully smuggled out. We just don't know. Conder, the Treasury...
Roger has clammed up on that now, what specifically did he say on the PCGS or NGC message boards that he did NOT say in the trial that may have...
Joan Langbord worked for her father Izzy Switt for years....I'm sure she knew about the coins. Her sons, I'm not sure. I've met one of them,...
Would you buy a particular grade and/or GSA hoard ?
My point is I believe the Langbord's -- certainly Joan -- knew about the coins. No way somebody has 10 gold coins -- Saints or otherwise -- in a...
No, I think it proves that the coins would have been confiscated and unless the Langbord's could PROVE they did NOT steal them, the government...
I don't see the evidence on Page 16 as you state and I have to run out. But I am unaware that there is hard, physical or testimonial evidence...

It's such a small number and I suspect all will be graded by NGC or PCGS.
I'm going by the actual IRS 1932 tables. Median vs. average...don't forget.
It's POSSIBLE that there is now a MARKET for 1933 Double Eagles. Before there wasn't. The coin wasn't collectable for anybody who wanted a...
That's what I'd guestimate. An increase in the supply of 1933 DE's should result in a drop from the $6.6 MM auction price (ex-commission)....
Median income appeared to be about $3,000 according to the IRS: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/32soirepar.pdf I agree, very few people had...
Tom B's post nails it. BTW, the Treasury official who sold off most of our silver supply in the 1960's was....Paul Volcker.
I heard it was the Roswell Aliens.:D
To what...something above zero ?? :D
I think the Langbords need to explain how they had the coins all this time. I do hope they win their case.
