Judge To Decide Whether To Accept Gypsy Treasure For Bail

Eli’s father came to court with a bag of antique gold coins and jewelry passed down from generation to generation since the 1800s.

An appraiser valued the coins as being worth $107,060, which is more than enough to cover the bail, Cornell reported.

The judge said he knows all about stamps as a one-time serious collector but nothing about gold.

“How do I know that this gold is what you say it is?” the judge questioned.

Judge Solomon insisted that the defense bring in the appraiser to answer all his questions.

“It would be much easier if you’d just come in with a bag of $50,000 cash,” Judge Solomon told the defendant’s father.
