2coins Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I recently read in the coin mag. a artical on the rare gold 1930 St.as everyone knows there was only one,and it sold not long ago for 7 million! Now 10 more surfaced from a guy that worked at the minrt back then and his family had them, of course the US goverment tookem!!!!!!said they were illegally taken at the time and are US Goverment property. They do not intend to sell them anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 a 1930 Saint would indeed be an extreme rarity as they only minted them in San Francisco in 1930! I think you meant to say 1933, which are the subject of much dispute over the legality of owning them privately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I did once see a 1919 Saint being sold on eBay, and that one could have been an extreme rarity too, if it wasn't such an obvious counterfeit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2coins Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Maybe the US goverment would be smart to auction off the coins for money and just keep one for the smithsonian inst.what are they going to do withem??that money could be used in better situations than sitting around fort knox!

28Plain Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Maybe the US goverment would be smart Maybe pigs would fly in formation around Grant's Tomb farting "I'm a Good Ol' Rebel" in four part harmony, too but there's little danger of either. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for auctioning them off, don't get ahead of things. The Government may find that they are not the legal owners of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
