<p>[QUOTE="fretboard, post: 1529135, member: 19765"]I don't know anyone who would be so stupid as to take a coin such as these to the US Mint for authentication. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />That is mind boggling. The Gov't sucks big time to take those coins away and leave the rightful heirs without anything at all. Since the Gov't knows darn well the coins could be sold for millions of dollars they should at least buy them from the owners. Only problem with that is the Gov't doesn't have to as everyone knows they were definitely stolen. Israel Swift should have sold them while he was still alive. He could have easily sold them at auction, maybe even on ebay. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />Now the heirs will probably get paid spot by the Gov't. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> You, see a mind is a terrible thing to waste so keep that in mind.
