FIAT currency losing spending value is a fact.



Actually when you are in a depression, fiat currency goes up in value.



Not if the Fed says otherwise. Proof is in this recent recession.

You need a free market for that to take place.

Are they full 1 ounce bars? Then they are worth $33 or so right now.

There may be extra "commemorative" value if they are collectable.

No, they are commemorative 1 oz bars with various things on them like Happy Easter 1974, The Pilgrims Bounty, etc.

The old owner was a professor at Princeton U back in the day, developed dimentia and lived here until he died. His kid is the one who sold the house and probably didnt know there were there.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.

I disagree, its not like they're family photos or something, his kids intentionally left a bunch of crap for Krieg to clean out, and anything they left is now his by law.

I would recommend you have them independently appraised by a coin dealer.

Yeah no kidding, not a bad deal, leave all your old crap behind, someone else cleans it up and sorts through it and lets you know you have something of value there? HAH.
