<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 4652156, member: 66&quot;]One I can think of off the top of my head were the two workers convicted of smuggling out errors from the Philadelphia mint back in 2000, including most of the Sac mules.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>True, they went to great lengths to recover the 1933 double eagles. They demanded the return of the 1974 D aluminum cent but never actually went after it.&nbsp; They just hounded the guy until he finally returned it. They know about the Toven specimen of the 1974 aluminum cent, which they have said is government property but have never made any attempt to recover it.&nbsp; and in the case of the 2000 Sac mules the court found that something like 17 of the coins are government property.&nbsp; They know who has them now, but they have never tried to recover them.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seem like the only way to get the government to try to recover their stolen property is to either give it to them (the Lanboard 1933 double eagles) or to try and sell them at auction (what started the vendetta against the 1933 DE back in 1944, and the 1974 D aluminum cent).&nbsp; That idea fails though because the Sac mules have appeared at auction and the government never made a peep.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
