    "A federal judge has upheld a verdict that strips a Pennsylvania family of their grandfather's gold coins worth an estimated $80 million and has ordered ownership transferred to the US government.

    Judge Legrome Davis of the Eastern District Court of Pennsylvania affirmed a 2011 jury decision that a box of 1933 Saint-Gaudens double eagle coins discovered by the family of Israel Switt, a deceased dealer and collector, is the property of the United States. "
