<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 38178, member: 1101&quot;]I had also heard that early in 1933 Mint employees were bale to buy the 1933 $20 coin (as was the case with all coins) for ace value, and that some did so prior to the hammer coming down.&nbsp; I would have argued back then that all those were legal I do wish they had pressed their claim back then – probably too difficult to do it now.&nbsp; The only reason the one legal on is legal is because the feds did not want an expensive court fight.&nbsp; I am not sure they ever really agreed to any reasoning that it should be legal, but they instead chose to go for a settlement (“The American Way”).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
