<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1489148, member: 26302&quot;]I understand that is WAS done, but I thought by this time, due to all of the scandals regarding trials leaving the mint to dealers, that it was against the law for mint employees to exchange coins. Today, if a mint employee wants a copy of a coin, he must go to the gift shop like anyone else and buy it, they are not allowed to exchange a similar coin inside the mint. Same with all other government workers who work around mint products. I thought this policy was in place before 1933. </p><p><br /></p><p>That has been the government&#039;s contention all along with the 33&#039;s anyway. They know a lot more 33 eagles left after they were withdrawn from sale, but since the public DID have a brief period to obtain these, there is no physical way for the government to prove any example was NOT obtained legally.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
