<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 7399176, member: 73489&quot;]One more thing.....Mint and Treasury officials were certainly aware that 1933 Saints were sold in the 1930&#039;s.&nbsp; They saw the advertisements in journals like <i><b>The Numismatist.&nbsp; </b></i></p><p><br /></p><p>Nobody objected, said anything was amiss.</p><p><br /></p><p>Asst. Director Leland Howard (<b><i>see pic below</i></b>) -- who some of our older veterans here or ATS may have had dealings with in the 1960&#039;s -- unilaterally decided their release was illegal and called them &quot;stolen&quot;.&nbsp; Howard&#039;s predecessor, Mary O&#039;Reilly, was never asked about why she had not gone after the 1933 Double Eagles that were openly sold and why she never said they were stolen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Howard assumed there had been an actual theft -- like the one involving 250 1928 Double Eagles, which really were stolen.&nbsp; That&#039;s $5,000 missing -- not exchanged. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>We also know that not all records are complete because the 1933 Indian Head $10 Eagles only have about 5 recorded in the ledgers -- but 35-40 are outstanding.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1287036[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
