Why is Silvertown allowed to keep this but the mint has taken back gold coins that got out on accident?

Because the coin was actually recovered from circulation. The government declared most of the Sac mules to be illegal because they traced back to mint employees, but it allowed the retention of the one or two coins that were recovered from circulation. (As far as I know though they have not actually confiscated any of the "illegal" pieces.)

"unknown collector" when it clearly states in the article I posted (first link when you type in 1942 S nickel non silver) the name of the guy..lol

No it doesn't. Read it again. In the article you posted it says if was found by "someone". Frith is the collector that bought it from the finder.

Sac mules to be illegal


I think when they asked about gold coins, then meant GOLD coins, not golden dollars. gold eagles. What 1933 $20 or another one close that is illegal to own or something like that?

I took his comment to mean "Why did they let him keep this coin that should not have gotten out, when they have confiscated other coins that should not have been released?" The fact he mentioned gold coins was not really pertinent to the question. He could just as well have said aluminum cents, bronze clad steel cents, Martha Washington patterns etc.

So you are saying the Gold eagle doesn't count as "coin that should not have gotten out"?

Because I am asking which one is it, was it 1933 $20, or another one?

I'm saying it was a general question, not specifying any particular unauthorized release. "Why haven't they gone after this coin when they have gone after others?" My answer explained why.

And yes he probably did have the 33 double eagle in mind as it is the first one most people think of when they consider unauthorized coins the government has tried to confiscate.
