Here is an update on the Langbord lawsuit.

On 1-19-2011 the court issued an amended scheduling order.
In this order the court has changed some of the previously established dates and has put the parties on a short fuse for trial.
Expert discovery, including depositions, must be finished by 3-7-2011.
On or before 3-7-2011 both sides are to file all of the paperwork they were previously required to file by 2-28-2011 [this paperwork was discussed in an earlier thread and need not be repeated here].
Each side is to provide to the court written status reports on the first and fifteenth of each month regarding their availability for trial.
The case is placed in the court's "Ready Pool" commencing on 3-21-2011. Thereafter counsel for both sides are to be prepared to proceed to trial on 48 hours notice.
If trial has not yet occurred, the trial will commence on 7-7-2011 at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom 6A of the US District Court located at 601 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA.
This case is finally scheduled for a trial which will start [absent a settlement] sometime between 3-24-2011 and 7-7-2011.
Using a railroad analogy, the train pulled out of the station in 12-2006 and has spent the past 4 plus years on a laborious, slow, journey to the summit of the pass (like slowly going from the California Central Valley east through the Sierra foothills, into Yosemite National Park and to the top of Tioga Pass).
The train has now reached the summit and is just starting down the other side of the pass on its way to its final destination [a court decision on who gets the ten double eagles]. This side of the pass is one that drops sharply (like from the top of Tioga Pass east down the steep, steep slope to US 395 at Mono Lake).
As the case descends from the top of the pass it will pick up speed, going ever faster until all passengers and crew are hanging on for dear life hoping that all the switchbacks and hairpin turns are navigated without the train flying off of the rails.
If the case settles, the train ride will stop before its final destination.
If the train navigates all the turns and arrives in the station, one side will be thrilled with the ride and one side will be sickened by the ride.
Both sides will simply be glad the ordeal is over.
The attorneys for both sides will experience similar feelings. Then they will go home [or to the nearest bar], get up the next day and do the same stuff again, only on a different file.
Any new predictions as to the outcome?

Never view my other linked pages. They aren't coin related.
I am thinking that the Langboards will do well.

Well, at least taking a vacation to Europe and selling these 10 coins while there were there.

I find it unsettling to think of the train just sitting there on the track in some random place, forever.

Negotiator's method: Each party gets ten coins and can do with them as they wish. Most likely all end up for sale.
Hybrid: Co-ownership, they go to auction one at a time or as a group and proceeds are split.
My method: Give them all to me.
is a dead lake? Oh, yeah, there's a brine shrimp that does live there but the lake is soooo
salty that nothing else can or does. That does not bode well, my friend. But for whom? lol

Mono Lake is also lined with a billion billion trillion flies.
The coarse pumice sand is deep and easy to sink into.
What fresh water there is; much is channeled to LA.
Mono Lake is an excellent choice for lawyer analogies.
I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

Reo?
The mood of the country is not good timing for the government's case. It would have been a lot better for the feds about 3 years ago.
<< <i>I predict a government / Langbord partnership settlement like with the Farouk coin. >>
Will the owner of the Farouk coin then sue the gov't for breach of contract and damges (i.e., the drop in value of his 7.5M coin)? Didn't they guarantee it would be the only legal 1933?

Good luck trying to find a lawyer to take that case.......
I still think the gummint bought the Fenton coin just to finally get their hands on it. Maybe after the Langbord case is finished somebody will file a FOIA request to find out who really owns it. I expect to be long dead before the answer comes back.
