United states of America, in silver dollars.
BY WAY OF FURTHER ANSWER:
7. See Affidavit in #5 of this answer, in which the

not merely legal tender, as such necessity for the

to and made part of this answer by reference:
Juilliar4 v. Greenman 421-470
Hagar v. aeolamation Dist. No. 108 4 SCT 663.
8. Objection for same reasons with Court decisions as

9. Objection: noting above said cases, the Sheriff as an
agent of the County and the state is compelled to
transact in silver and gold coin within the State.
10. The undersigned states that he verifies his actions
as in affidavit of April 3, 1998, and made a part of
this document by reference.
Wherefore the undersigned moves the court for
Confirmation of the sale of said properties in above
styled case to himself.

v,

follows:
I, Admitted,
2, Admilted,
3, Admitted, By way of further answer, the property relevant to the within Motion
was identified as real estate sale no, 17 on the sale bill, a copy of the pertinent
portion being attached hereto, marked Exhibit "A", and incorporated herein by
reference,
4, Admitted,
e05,
Admitted in part and denied in part, It is admitted that during the bidding for real
('>

..:.
"

.'~.
-
and threw a clear plastic bag on the floor of the auction room; said bag appeared
to contain coins, By way of further answer, at no time during the bidding was this
individual's's bid described as other than "26 silver dollars", nor were the coins
further identified, nor was the bid represented to be a value or amount other than
as quoted herein, After reasonable investigation, Respondent is without
information or knowledge sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of Petitioner's
averment that he was the bidder described in this paragraph, said averment is
therefore denied and proof demanded,
Denied, The high bidder for real estate sale no, 17 was the execution creditor,
Lexington Financial Services L TD, which bid the total amount of $30, The

auctioneer "knockcd.down" the property to thc cxccution creditor for that amount.
BY WAY OF FURTHER ANSWER:
7, 31 U,S.C, ~ 5103 mandatcs that: "U,S, coins and currencies (including Federal
Reserve notes and circulating notcs of Fcdcral Rcscrve banks and national
banks), are Icgal tender for all dcbts, public and privatc, public charges, taxes,
dutics, and dues,"
8, Legal tendcr is that kind of coin, currency or money which thc law compels a
creditor or offeree to accept, whcn tendcred by another,
9, At no time was the Sheriff of Cumberland County legally authorized or entitlcd to
recognize the value of any bid of coins at an amount othcr than face value of thc
coins, the legal tender value,
10, After reasonable investigation, respondent is without knowledge or information to
form a belief as to thc veracity of Exhibit "A", presumably al\achcd to petitioner's
motion for coin identification purposes; thereforc it is denied that the listed coins
wcre, in fact, bid at the sale, and'proof thercof is demanded,
WHEREFORE, the Sheriff of Cumbcrland County moves Your Honorable Court to
dismiss the Motion for Confirmation of Sale and to Order thc Sheriff to tender his deed to the
exccution creditor, Lexington Financial Scrviccs, L TD" in due course,

STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION
This court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to
the CONSTITUTION of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 1776,
section the Thirty-third.
STANDARD OF REVIEW
since this Court is being asked to review interpretation
of the CONSTITUTION for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
1776, the proper standard of review is de novo.
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
A sheriff's Sale of certin real estate in the above
styled action was held on March 4, 1998. I, the Petitioner,
Richard Allan., Lewis, bid twenty-six silver dollars, in
lawful United States Minted coins, at the said auction, for
said property, and tendered the silver. The money was not
accepted. No one else at the sale offered payment for said
property. In good faith, with no bad faith, I moved the
COMMON PLEAS COURT OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY for a Confirmation of
Sale Hearing, and tendered the silver to the Prothonotary of
Cumberland county, which tender was refused.
A Show Cause hearing for the Sheriff to show why the
relief I requested should not be granted, on April 3, 1998.
At said Hearing, I was sanctioned three hundred dollars
for bringing this issue before the court.
Respectfully submitted,
