The coin was seized and repatriated by the Manhattan District Attorney.
The seizure of the EID MAR coin was subject to the takings clause of the fifth amendment. It doesn't seem like the owners of the coin were the sort of people who would just give up $20 million in property without fighting it legally unless they were presented with incontrovertible evidence that they had purchased stolen property. It seems doubtful that the seizure was conducted based on a mere allegation by an informant.

THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
