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...

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...

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.
The government didn't file a CAFRA because they do not believe it is properly owned property. They claim that ownership of the coins is ILLEGAL...
