Sorry, but I have to rant for a minute. I know that the question with the 10 1933 Double Eagles is that they left the mint under questionable circumstances. The Feds say they were stolen and had to be returned and they got a Federal Jury to agree. How can anyone be sure? The people involved with the coins leaving the mint are no longer with us. So what happens when someone gets a mint sewn bag of 1964-D Kennedy halves and they find a 1964-D Peace dollar that happens to be part of the bag? It's not out of the question. Is it subject to seizure by Treasury officials? This would be a coin that made it out of the mint through proper channels, but HOW could you ever prove it? Did a mint worker drop one in on purpose, or did it just happen? Yes, I know the chance of this happening are nil, but it COULD happen. If you found one in this way what would you do? I'd be so worried that I'd loose the coin that I'd be afraid to tell anyone I had it, even though it wasn't stolen from the mint. ANY coin that left the mint by theft is subject to seizure. What about the Dollar/Quarter Mules or the 1913 Liberty nickel? When will they be taking them? Selective justice is wrong. They know where these coins are, have talked about taking them, but have no plans to do so. This should have been reason enough for the jury to send the '33s back to the REAL owners. Or will this decision change their minds and they start a campaign to take the coins from the people that own them. This is a black day for coin collecting.

The government never loses. If they do, they just appeal. Wine knot? They're using your tax money to fight you with.

No 1804 dollars were made in 1804, so how could they be considered a legitimate mint product?

I hope that the government sells them and deposits the proceeds in the treasury. Given the debt crisis, $30 or $40 million dollars would help some, though I know its a mere drop in the bucket in terms of the trillions in debt we have but millions make trillions.

Well, I know how we all like to blame the gov't for everything, however I am trying to think of this from a constructive point of view. What if someone stole something from you and later someone else came back to you and asked you to take a look at it. Wouldn't you want it back? If it had your name on it and you had photos and/or records to prove ownership. I don't see why the gov't can't also pay the family who recovered their property a reward or finders fee, it's the right way to go about things.
