[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 2482745, member: 4910"]Today, the US Court of Appeals Third Circuit decided in favor of the US Government in the long-running Langbord-Switt 1933 Double Eagle case. The court opinion link: [url]http://www2.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/124574p2.pdf[/url] From the decision: [I]The evidence at trial demonstrated overwhelmingly that no 1933 Double Eagle ever left the Mint through authorized channels and any that did were either stolen or embezzled. Once the jury had spoken, the District Court declared that the 1933 Double Eagles had always been property of the United States. Although the benefit of hindsight has convinced us that certain errors were committed in the conduct of the trial, they did not affect the outcome. We will affirm the judgment of the District Court.[/I] :)[/QUOTE]
