<p>[QUOTE="sjnebay, post: 71459, member: 1665"]This is very interesting. Actually, in my opinion, those items (they are not really coins since they were never monetized) belong to the mint. In actuality, they were stolen from the mint. The folks who sent them in to be verified are now filing suit to regain them. If I were the judge hearing that case, I would jail the people for receiving stolen property. I can not for the life of me imagine why they think they have any right to them. If the Mona Lisa disappeared today, and someone wanted it authenicated sixty or seventy years from now, would anyone have any doubt as to the ownership of it? Let's get real here. I'm a collector and would love to see those items be monetized and hit the market. If and when they ever do, the "heirs of Izzy Swit" should be disqualified from participating as potential buyers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
