<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bqcoins, post: 488794, member: 5036&quot;]Unfortunately, you can no longer go to the Smithsonian and view the national coin collection.&nbsp; It was deemed to be not enough of an attraction, so it was dismantled, packed away into the archives and its space in the building given to some other piece of history that is more generationally friendly, perhaps a display of ancient cell phones from the 80&#039;s or some such thing.&nbsp; It was disappointing to watch it be dismantled like that as if each coin was some trinket rather than a piece in the greater part of one of the most magnificent collections on earth.&nbsp; </p><p>Regardless, I too saw the 33s at the 2006 World&#039;s fair.&nbsp; And while they were pretty to behold, I still believe that the treasury&#039;s story, look at the govt property we found and are preserving, rather than here is some property sent in for authentification that we seized and are now exhibiting for profit is quite a bit of horse puckey.&nbsp; The govt. took those coins because they could, plain and simple.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
