They could be worth $80 million or more, given that one sold for nearly $7.6 million in 2002.

Simple question.... If all the 1933 $20 gold pieces were stolen from the mint, why wasn't the one sold in 2002 seized also?

i believe it was seized by the treasury dept as well and they then got permission to sell it on the open market. That is how the price was established.
