    V. Kurt Bellman Yes, I'm blunt! Get over your "feeeeelings".

    If anyone wants the REAL story surrounding the 10 Double Eagles illegally formerly possessed by the Langbord/Switt family, and can stand seeing all the myths you’ve believed (and Burdette’s fictional account) blown out of water, you NEED TO HEAR THIS TALK!

    https://coinweek.com/coin-shows/u-s...an-to-present-1933-gold-double-eagle-lecture/

    I’ve already heard this talk. The gentleman giving it sat next to me at the Denver ANA banquet last August, and it was the only topic during dinner. Learn. Or continue in ignorance because that ignorant state makes you happier.

    Kurt, you forgot the Pharaoh sign off:

    Speaking of people happier with their previous warped beliefs...
    :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    But hey, never let a little thing like facts get in the way of your political ideology, right?

    Lawyers frequently become chatty after major cases are long finished. It's only while their cases are still active that they sit grinning like the Cheshire Cat.

    Speaking of political ideology Kurt, I'm gambling that article supports the government's view doesn't it? After all if it didn't you would not be bursting into a phone booth to put on your suit and tie for them.

    Hmm, let's see now. The man is the Senior Legal Counsel at the United States Mint. Wow, your powers of observation just astound me. Now maybe you can explain to me why opposing the government's view is YOUR immediate "GO TO" POSITION. Or maybe you'd like to ruminate on why the host organization for the ANA convention this summer invites a man like him to speak. Maybe it's because they actually listen to truth, unlike you.

    Yes, opposition to the "gummint" may be a requirement to be a bullion bug / wacky stacker, but it isn't to be a numismatist.

    Maybe you can explain to me where I took that position.

    Yes of course everybody knows it. That's because Kurt is a man of facts and polled the CT membership to find that out.

    Be cautious with not starting a Political discussion. No problem yet, but ....

    And Jim's a real sharp-eyed one on that rule. Heck, he sees so well, he even sees it when it's NOT there. Kind of like our error-finding friends.

    Just as Jim finds errors that are worth something, he also knows when one is just hot wind trying to flame the environment and when to snuff it out...quickly. :)

    I really don't care (read: Edit : Read the rules on abbreviated obscenity) about the real or the semi-real or the fake story.....:smug::smug::smug:....& I feel like I'm like most in this regard.

    Oop's, sorry, I knew that!

    How odd, then, that BOTH CoinWeek AND Numismatic News felt that this talk deserved a feature story. I guess you know better than both of those news sources, huh?
