If only she had known what would happen, she could have melted them down or simply hammered them flat. IMHO, the government should at least compensate her for the amount of the gold.

She should have taken them out of the country for resale, where the mint couldn't snatch them so easily.

Good PR for government if they let her keep one of the coins as a reward for returning the other stolen/lost coins. That way both parties can leave happy.

They will only pay $20.67/ounce.

That is the dumbest post that I have ever read, they are "PRICELESS", or damned near for what they are, not for their freaking gold!

The US Government shouldn't have any claim on them at all, no more than the Tali ban has the right to destroy Ancient Indian Statues in Afghanistan/Iraq

Now to be lost to the freaking stupid Government, Ted Kennedy or his ilk will end up with them, and I guarantee they won't be stupid enough to show them to the Government. Hillary is making room for them right now, right next to her stolen furniture and her stolen paintings! Crap! I think I just broke my keyboard.
