<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 340159, member: 4626&quot;]Not enough for a fancier ice cream cone, even in 1894, but would seem a reasonable price for a basic kid sized ice cream coin by 1894 standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonderat how these coins could even be justified as legal, as the mint director clearly had no authorization to mint them.&nbsp; (Same case for the 1913 Liberty nickels.)&nbsp; It seems the Treasury is selective about what they&#039;ll allow and what they won&#039;t.&nbsp; Makes me wonder why they&#039;re so zealous about confiscating 1933 double eagles, which were at least legally minted even if the legality of them leaving the mint was questionable, but turn a blind eye to rarities that probably were not even legal to make.&nbsp; Seems inconsistent at best and hypocritical at worst... if they&#039;re willing to give the benefit of the doubt to rarieties they can&#039;t prove to be illegal, why doesn&#039;t that standard hold to all such rarities?&nbsp; Just annoys me that they don&#039;t seem to have a consistent standard lol...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
