Photos would be nice for those of us that aren't going.

Someone should tell Trump to auction these off. He could use the money for his new space program.

Waffle the Switt coins and auction the pieces individually on Ebay.

He works for free and probably spends more hours at work each week than 99% of us. He deserves a round of golf every now and then. The last round was with world leaders so that's probably work, too.

He may work for relatively next to nothing, and good for him to play a round of golf here and there as people need a breather, but I would be fired on the spot if I was tweeting all day instead of working!

Currin · August 9, 2018 5:48PM

I heard he don’t tweet while working. He tweets on the toilet.

dbldie55 · August 9, 2018 6:23PM

Thread took a nose dive, which is too bad.

As for the 1933's. I remember the first time I saw one. I was excited to see it after all the hoopla, but it was just a ho hum coin. The display had a high relief which makes all other Saints look flat. Coolest coin in the display was the 1849 $20. That was a beautiful coin. Wonder where the other one ended up.

Timbuk3 · August 9, 2018 7:33PM

Cool !!!

Justacommeman · August 9, 2018 8:22PM

So they are going to display the coins that they stole from a private citizen at a coin show? That’s like the King raiding a castle in medieval times and displaying the severedheads of the former occupants as trophy's on pikes for all the villagers to see. Makes me sad. If I was going I wouldn’t view them. I actually sort of hope someone steals them back Danny Ocean style

Justacommeman · August 9, 2018 8:23PM

And he doesn’t work for free. He and his family have benefited like no others in the name of helping out the little guy

I just want someone to post pictures of the 1933 gold piece. Can we leave the politics to some other thread?

Also on display will be a complete set of McDonald's "Big Mac" coins.

Sorta like having a problem with chain migration and then letting the in laws in under chain migration.

messydesk · August 10, 2018 5:53AM

A "victory lap" by the government. Poor taste.

ricko · August 10, 2018 6:11AM

I agree with Mark about such a display being in poor taste. I will be happy with viewing pictures... having gone through the eleven years of litigation (here on the forum), I still think the government should not have confiscated those coins. They were presented in good faith and should have been subjected to a negotiated settlement. Cheers, RickO

TwoSides2aCoin · August 10, 2018 6:25AM

I hope they have distress bags on hand. A lot of Americans might puke, seeing it.

It was the Obama administration and the Roosevelt administration you folks should be implicating.

Nap · August 10, 2018 6:43AM

I disagree that the display is in poor taste. I also was disappointed with the outcome of the case, but that’s water under the bridge. The coins are now the property of the American people. They should be allowed to be seen, and not melted or hidden in a vault somewhere.

TwoSides2aCoin · August 10, 2018 7:16AM

I like your view, Nap. However , two wrongs won't make it right. They were illegally confiscated, (IMO); with zero proof they were unlawfully exchanged/ or distributed, at time of manufacture.

And for the record I'm happy to see we can view the whole picture from our lowly perches, as much as we like to put blame on leaders.

I tend to get defensive (of our presidents)....with the exception of them on our coins. Or what happens during their term.

But what belongs to an American , doesn't mean it belongs to its people.

The system is rigged AND on display.

Reagen said "tear down that wall "
Our current leader says " we will build a wall".

Liberating thought.

Hot property on display.

Oh gosh! That could cloud the wonderful exciting viewing room and obscure the snatched coins.
I'm happy with pictures. Giddy, even! Having the last 2 numerals different from the billion 1924s is thrilling.

Very poor taste since they started showing the coins a couple of years ago. It's bad when your government puts its arrogance on display like this.

KellenCoin · August 10, 2018 10:22PM

They displayed these last year as well.

Nobody has enough money to buy one. Our government has spent tens of millions of dollars through the courts. proving they're the bully.

cappedlibertyx · August 11, 2018 8:47AM

And mama...

That is a terrible display of arrogance and dominance to parade those coins in an exhibit for all to see.
Give them back or melt them.
But to tour them around is just low down & dirty...

I think it also shows us why they constantly need more and more tax money.

I expect that his colon is more nervous than a schoolboy in a hohouse so he probably spends an inordinate amount of time on his throne. He should get one of those coin terlet seats to remind him that time is money.

I should have thought better than this. We don't wish to get into family trips, social secretary expenses, multiple vacations, and foreign travel using two planes, etc. Wasting taxpayers money is one of the "perks" of power. It is a rare President who we cannot find fault with something.

I'd like to nominate one penny conscious President who can NEVER be called a spendthrift: Randy Campbell of FUN!

Oh, I like to think the Federal Reserve Act somehow played a role in removing "real" money from our hands.

Thankfully, (or not) we got digital & crypto now. And interest never stops.
However, to elaborate.... brother can ya spare some zinc ?

The money they spent-was that real $ or that fiat currency we often hear spoken of.
