Sure I’ll give you 100x $1 Silver Eagles for it <i>since you’re my friend/family.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>It’s basically stealing from American citizens.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my opinion that dime is property of the US Government &amp; American people just like the 1933 Double Eagles at Fort Knox &amp; I hope one day the government realizes that and confiscates them like they did with the 1933 Double Eagles.</p><p><br /></p><p>&amp; NO whoever bought it should not receive compensation. They should be given a modern dime nothing more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even if the guy didn’t get caught he still committed a serious crime by giving those coins to his daughter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
