<p>[QUOTE=&quot;09S-V.D.B, post: 208120, member: 4379&quot;]As I understand, the mint considered all double eagles to be equal, therefore a 1932 $20 held the same value as a 1933 $20. For the first few (three?) months of 1933, one could travel to the mint and exchange any date of double eagle for a 1933 $20, and I have heard that Switt may have done exactly this. </p><p><br /></p><p>Disclaimer: I have no experience with the law, and only a bit of common sense. Doesn&#039;t the mint have to prove that the coins were stolen, not the family prove the coins weren&#039;t stolen? IMO, this whole debate is a moot point since the government clearly won&#039;t reconcile with the Switt family, and the coins will almost certainly remain government property.</p><p><br /></p><p>My $0.02,</p><p>09S[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
