So it appears as if you're on the side of this whole "government property" thing which will enable them to add to their treasure chest of "Numismatic Wonders" despite the fact that many, many, many, Congressionally "Unauthorized" issues reside on the open market. Can you say "1913 Liberty Nickel? Can you say 1964 SMS Sets? Can you say Martha Washington Pattern? Can you say "Four Dollar Gold Stella"? And yes, chasing down the 1933 Saint's represents nothing more than a literal waste of tax payer dollars because the coins were in fact "Congressionally Authorized" just like the 1932 coins before them. Between the time that these were minted and Roosevelt signed his Executive Order, there was ample opportunity for 1 to 1 coin exchanges which is validated by the fact that the US Mint said they had accounted for all the 1933 coins for destruction. I'd rather they spend their time on chasing down all the missing armaments from the various Armories around the country. Or, perhaps get rid of the dollar bill and start "saving" $180 million a year.[/QUOTE]
