    Judge says U.S. must return rare coins to Phila. family

    By Vernon Clark

    Inquirer Staff Writer
    A judge in Philadelphia has ruled that the federal government must return 10 extremely rare gold coins to the family of a late Center City jeweler or outline its case for keeping them in a forfeiture filing.

    U.S. District Judge Legrome Davis issued the ruling Tuesday in the case of the 10 1933 "double eagle" gold coins, which experts say could fetch millions at auction. The lawyer representing the family said the coins are thought to be the most valuable gold coins in the world.

    Would love to know the story behind how those coins came into the families possession and for how many years they have been held by this family.
