Treasury officials charge that the never-circulated “double eagles” were stolen from the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia in 1933. They could be worth $80 million or more, given that one sold for nearly $7.6 million in 2002. The coins come from a batch that were struck but melted down after President Franklin D. Roosevelt took the country off the gold standard in 1933

So this means that the coins would not exist if things had gone as planned. So the judge should order the coins to be melted down and the gold to be returned to the US mint. Heck just think...They will still make a profit.
