[QUOTE="Ed23, post: 2133900, member: 32117"]Just t spice up our discussion o this we could say there is more than one way to look at this. One might argue, since FDR with his kingly edict outlawed all private ownership of gold coins in 1933, aren't all gold coins of the United States of any date illegal to hold? or, One might argue, that since FDR's actions were in reality unconstitutional and constituted illegal seizure of private property thru his federal raids on privately held safe deposit boxes during his declared "bank holiday" that he overstepped his authority and the federal government needs to restore value of seized assets to all families that were affected. or, One might argue, that the “Langbord 10” are, and have been privately, and legally, owned without government challenge since 1933, are indeed now private property and the government has no claim to them ... of course this last argument is what i,s and has been, argued in court for the past few years ... but when the "independent judge" deciding this matter is biased and an arm of the thief (aka feds) we all know how this will be decided. As for me, if they ever put me on a jury, or bench position as judge, to decide on ownership of such coins as the “Langbord 10”[I] [/I]I would find for the Langbord family and against the government's claim.[/QUOTE]
