Family fights government over rare ‘Double Eagle’ gold coins

[ConceptualizedNetherlandr]

This is a very old story. I am on the side of the family. They were not smart to give them over to the government, but should had received many opinions from the top coin dealers in our country. I am sure that the family is crying and I do not blame them. The government should sell the coins at a coin auction and give the family 50% before taxes, which means the government will get more then the family.

Did you not notice the link in post #17?

Poor Israel. It is clear that he is a victim.

# 17. Tell us more and prove that your statement is correct.

Same universe where the coins are returned:

U.S. government ordered to return very rare gold coins seized from jeweler?s family - The Washington Post

They graded them PR 70 and then decided to keep them. The system was conceived to protect its citizens, but that was the most expensive grading process in history.
Without a huge outpouring and lots of defensive resources they didn't stand a chance.

I wouldn't suggest you use Uncle Sam's grading service regardless of any tendencies you may harbor towards being a flag waving American Patriot.
Ever hear of PCGS?


Nevertheless, God bless America.
