Here’s my comment.
If the Federal government now in control of this country is so damned insistent on reclaiming those coins using an edict by FDR (my personal choice for worst President after Hussein Obama), then they maybe should GET the coins.
But they should be forced to melt each and every one of them down to the base metal and add that to this country’s reserve.
Otherwise, it is greed and I would fully expect some bureaucrat to profit from the sale of them on the open market, giving due tribute to Dear Leader of course.
That’s true! If it is just gold, then it has the value gold has.
But if they are sold as rare coins, the government has no more right to them than Tom, Dick or Harry! Or anybody else!
The only people who should profit from that would be the folks who kept them safe all these years.
