<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1229056, member: 23626&quot;]Look, the US mint does not just hand out free coins. They are sold ! And records are kept with receipts of sales of EVERY coin. These coins were removed from the mint property without being paid for. Hence STOLEN !!!! It does not matter who stole them, they still are legal property of the US Mint. Period. You cannot take something and hand it to someone else and it become theirs. The law just doesn;t work like that. Even if a jury had awarded them to the heirs, this verdict would have been overturned simply as a matter of law. Legal Ownership is retained no matter how many people &quot;fench&quot; the stolen goods, or how many different people possess them at one time or another. Simple possession of these coins was a crime in itself, and I am surprised the Atty General did not file charges. Perhaps, because they returned the stolen items ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any, &quot;if wishes were horses, beggars would ride&quot;. The laws don&#039;t change just because someone wishes it. It takes legislation, and no society is going to legalize &quot;theft&quot; or allow people to profit legally from it. IMHO</p><p><br /></p><p>gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
