COLUMBUS — The Ohio Supreme Court ordered the state Bureau of Workers’ Compensation today to release all coin purchase and sales records to The Blade, which first reported on the agency’s controversial rare coin investment.
The Blade had the final lawsuit pending before the court against the insurance fund for injured workers.
The Blade wanted records of every coin transaction back to the fund’s creation in 1998, including names of who bought or sold them and the sale price.
The Bureau of Workers’ Compensation had argued that the records belonged to the two coin funds once managed by Tom Noe, a Toledo-area coin dealer, not a public office. The bureau also said divulging the coins and their prices would reduce their value and violate trade secrets.
