<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave T, post: 1003040, member: 27390&quot;]Why do you feel that the Langbord coins should have been destroyed?&nbsp; The latest I’ve read on the case suggests that the Mint is having a hard time proving that the coins could not possibly have left the Mint as monetized coins.&nbsp; Apparently there was some sloppy record keeping and discrepancies in the paper work.&nbsp; To destroy those coins would be the coin world’s equivalent of destroying documents from the Library of Alexandria.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; What I find to be both ridiculous and appalling is the amount of tax payer dollars that have been spent throughout the years (Secret Service and litigation) trying to confiscate and destroy what amounts to a handful of $20 accounting entries to the government.&nbsp; We’re not talking about a mass produced counterfeit coin.&nbsp; We’re talking about a handful of coins that were legitimately produced by the Mint.&nbsp; Whether or not they were legitimately produced is not the question.&nbsp; What is the question is whether or not they were legitimately monetized and released to the public.&nbsp; Whether they were or weren’t, or you OK with millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars being spent to resolve the issue?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
