JUDGMENT
AND NOW, this 29th day of August, 2012, for the reasons set forth in the accompanying
Memorandum, we hereby enter JUDGMENT in favor of the United States of America on Count I
(forfeiture) and Count II (declaratory judgment). On Count II, we make the following
declaration:
The disputed Double Eagles were not lawfully removed from the United States
Mint and accordingly, as a matter of law, they remain the property of the United
States, regardless of (1) the applicability of CAFRA to the disputed Double
Eagles, (2) Claimants’ state of mind with respect to the coins, or (3) how the coins
came into Claimants’ possession.

BY THE COURT:
