I’d heard about this case and others. The best thing to do when you find such coins is to melt them down.

Melting them down would have destroyed their numismatic value - which in this case was considerable.

YOU are as clueless as they are!
Thousands of people own and legally buy, sell, and trade U.S. gold coins, minted before the confiscation.
Myself, included.
They are NOT illegal to own or sell.

No... go to PCGS and have them appraised and slabbed. Personal property is personal property, appeal asap.
My hubby has been collecting gold slabbed coins for 20 years. We’re good, retirement is two years away.

Some people collect pre-1933 coins and prize them highly for their rarity and beauty.
Your statement makes me (ahem) them cringe at the thought of the loss of physical American history that will outlive our nation.
