Heirs Lose Fight Over Rare Gold Coins | NBC Philadelphia: "A jury has decided that a set of rare gold coins found in a bank deposit box rightfully belongs to the U.S. government.
The decision, made on Wednesday, caps an unusual civil case that combined history, coin collecting and whether the set of rare $20 'double eagles' should have ever let the U.S. Mint in 1933.
Federal prosecutors had asserted that the coins never circulated when the country went off the gold standard. Most of the batch was instead melted down."
