SOOO what would have happened if you sent those 10 coins to NGC?

I dont know if they have any sort of legal confidentiality or anything. And also, if you worked at NGC and you saw a real 1933 Double Eagle, would you trust the company enough for it to not go magically "missing"

Kinda sad though, probably wouldnt say anything myself. What I thought was interested, from what I read online, all the coins were apparently "Accounted" for.
