Another 1933 Saint Story

I guess it shouldn't surprise me how much misinformation and flat out
lies are out there concerning one of our most beloved coins. I
started reading the comments on the article, attempting to provide the
correct info, but it just got out of hand.

Without a shred of evidence available to me, I have always assumed
that the Langbord family had rather more than 10 specimens. Hopefully
these are now safely in Canada or Switzerland.

Someday the 1933 Saint and the 1964-D Peace $ will be legal, but maybe
not in my lifetime.

Is this "another" story? I thought this same story had been reported ad
nauseum, and referenced here, for a very long time now.

Current evidence allows that, initially, 22 (so far) were saved from
the smelter. The first 10 were discovered during a major search and
seizure by the Secret Service during the 1930s and 1940s. The Farouk
example, the only one legal to own, was one of those ten. The other
nine were melted. Two were pulled for the Smithsonian's collection
prior to melting, and these ten, currently held in "protective
custody" at Fort Knox (last I knew).

Same story, just an update. Get a federal judge involved in a case
against the government, and he'll rule in favor of the government
every time. At least this time, according to the article, the "window
of opportunity (March 15 - April 4, 1933)" was brought up. Still, the
judge ignored the evidence and ruled in favor of the government.

As an aside that isn't in the news, when these ten were first reported
and confiscated, I wrote my rep in DC imploring him to stop the feds
from melting them. He said he'd heard from the Secretary of the
Treasury, Treasurer, Mint Director or some other honcho (I don't
remember who) who said that, because of the historic significance of
these coins, even though they are not legal tender, they would be held
in the vaults at Fort Knox, as they are, as bullion, and would not be
destroyed.

I wonder still, what will the government do with the 10 they have now?
Melt them down or will they sell them?

If they sold them their value would be diluted, although still unafforable to most of us!
