Re: US Mint seeking coins to confiscate?
Off the top of my head is the 10 1933 St. Gaudens found by the family members and the 1974-D Aluminum Cent left to a son.PALH1 wrote:D, have you hugeeyes / read anywhere,.....where they have specifically identified, that a certain piece, was removed by a'known mint employee', ....& most likely 'passed on' that piece to their legacy ??GoldStacker wrote:does this concern coins which belong to the family treasures? I mean, those which were inherited from their grand grand grand grand parents?
.....& is 'why' it survives today.
with the exception of the "1875 DOT N IHC"

Re: US Mint seeking coins to confiscate?
Court ordered the mint to return the double eagles to the family. So, it's not all bad.

Different link, same story

Notice, again, that the most likely answer is that the coins were originally stolen from the mint. Should someone be allowed to profit from another's theft. IMO, no, if the theft can be proven. Otherwise, the mint needs to get over it.
