“There is a precedent in this sort of case where the government has taken back property. The daughter of Philadelphia jeweler, Joan Langboard had been selling off ‘Double Eagle’ gold pieces found in a family safety deposit box, with the last one being sold at a Sotheby’s Auction for $7.5 million in 2004.

But in 2011, a jury found that the ten pieces sold off by the Langboard family had been stolen from the government in 1933. Ironically, the only reason the US Treasury knew about the gold pieces was because Mrs Langboard wasn’t convinced of their authenticity.”

Where do people get this crap??? The 7.5 million coin was the King Farouk coin.

Langbord GAVE all hers to the secret service/treasury for them to verify them. She is the stupidest human to walk earth...
