[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2123948, member: 15929"]Something about a Statute of Limitations for procesution of theft has been mentioned in the past since Brown knew that he had stolen these coins and nearly 7 years to the day was when they went up for sale. I don't think that, at the time, there was a legal precedent set for stolen merchandise and a return to a rightful or lawful owner regardless of when it was stolen. These damned nickels are an embarrassment what with how the 1933 Saints were/are handled and on more than one occasion, a previous owner of one of the nickels has cited the Coinage Act of 1965 as the basis for the legality in owning and selling the piece. What can you do? It's ok in one circumstance since the material was minted during off hours by an individual that was authorized to be in the facility while the others were supposed never authorized for release yet some managed to escape as all the melting records account for every last piece?[/QUOTE]
