And they can't auction them off. When they auctioned the Farouk/Fenton coin it was with the understanding that the government would never legitimize another one. So they can't sell these without breaching the contract on the sale of the first one. Report this Post to the Staff

The guy/family should be given a medal and the coins for saving and safeguarding treasure from an out of control government hellbent on destroying them and countless other priceless specimens, most/many of which were stolen from the American public. Of course the coins are unlikely to be destroyed now but they clearly would have been consumed if not for Switt's actions. Report this Post to the Staff

True, But is this not also true of ALL pre- 1933 US Gold Coins? I am not expert here but did not the govt. call in ALL gold coins? Does this mean that this case could leed to the Govt. coming after any remaining gold coins? Report this Post to the Staff
