thedeadpoint Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/08/02/a-high-stakes-dispute-over-ten-pieces-of-gold-court-reclaims-priceless-double-eagle-coins-for-us-government/?postshare=1051470146436474&tid=ss_mail A U.S. Appeals Court ruled on Monday that ten 1933 $20 gold coins are U.S. Government property because they were stolen and never released into circulation. The family that found the coins in their father's belongings will appeal this to the Supreme Court. While I'm unsure which side I side with, I don't blame the family - at $10M each, the coins are worth the appeals costs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Odd that they only showed up after the Farouk piece sold. Had they surfaced earlier, they would have had a good case to use the subsequent Farouk sale to make the same argument on a split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
