Because it's a 1933 and because it was a few days/weeks before FDR's gold edict.
John, the exchange policy was NOT illegal and was understood. It was not only for Mint employees and favored customers, it was available to tour...
Not only am I likely NOT wrong, I'm probably right. You and Eddie keep ignoring the unofficial exchange policy which is how coins got out BEFORE...
Show me the proof that the coins were smuggled. The jurors made an educated guess. They were probably wrong. Do you think OJ didn't slit...
Wrong !!! The exchange policy was SOP and was in use for years before 1933. Because these are gold coins and the April 1933 gold edict by FDR....
I don't know that they said that. They said they belonged to the U.S. Government. There is NO WAY anybody can prove they were smuggled -- or not...
The coins will not be melted down, they are worth alot of $$$ to the Mint for publicity for Gold Eagle sales. They will settle with the Langbord's.
I don't think the billionaire who bought it -- and loaned it to the NY Fed -- really cares if the coin goes up or down in value.
Let's hope both sides agree to a settlement....the whole country wins.
Well, there's something called an APPEAL. Forget this CAFRA thing, if they appeal the original 2011 decision I think they can win. It all...
I have no bone in the fight, Eddie. But if you are familiar with Mint distribution policies of the 1920's and 1930's you would know it was quite...
Exactly...and if the Treasury didn't know about the Export License, who's to say they knew about the unofficial exchanges taking place prior to...
Beause the coins are worth millions to someone and also have historical significance. The best thing would be a settlement where they sell some...
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...
