Is there any evidence that DPR, or one of the marshal's dealt with, or acquired physicals in any way? Pretty sure that a coin and its addy with that kind of verifiable provenance, has a premium attached (unlike it being owned by Charlie Lee).
And, who is going to contact the DOJ to ask what they do/did with peeled physicals?
Not that I am aware of and have read many things about Silk Road 1/DPR...
They redeem them. Who knows what happens to the physical remnants. Maybe they melt them down into USD silver/fiat?
No idea really, but let us know what they say if you contact them about it, would be interesting I guess?
