Now, after reading the link from bn2cardz, I am even more sick.
These rare and valuable coins are now going to be held in Fort Knox for who knows how long, or worse, they are going to be melted down. So, millions of dollars worth of coins are going to be 1) stored away or 2) melted down and their value goes from millions of dollars to whatever an ounce of gold is going for.
The government is in debt and looking to decrease it but then does something like this.
Porsche 959's were illegal to own in this country but people like Bill Gates finally helped to get the law changed and now they can be imported, driven, enjoyed sold and taxed.
The first 1933 Double Eagle was illegal to own but the law was changed and it was sold and the government made a HUGE profit off of it.
Why can't they do it again?
