[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 7392718, member: 73489"]Actually, I believe the 10 coins WILL be returned at some point to the Langbord's or their heirs. You are aware that some Treasury official has said that the same logic should/could be used to confiscate Liberty Nickels, patterns, Flying Cents, etc....that were not "properly" released, right ? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want your coins confiscated and then have the confiscators declare them for sale....70% above what you paid for them, right ? :D That's what the government did when it ordered gold be turned in. My poor ancestors -- and lots of others -- got shafted. I don't like it when the government lies to its citizens in order to screw them. :mad: Caveat Emptor ! Hey, remember what happened to that painting owned by Steve Wynn. :D[/QUOTE]
