[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 5319790, member: 115909"]First of all it doesn’t matter if it took 100 years. Secondly: It was never only worth 10 cents. Even back in the early 1900s coin collectors would’ve paid much more than that with such a limited mintage. Thirdly: I never said we should go after the Mint workers. I just believe those coins should be confiscated. Fourthly: If we allow this whats to stop Mint employees today from purposely making very small numbers of unique coins and then selling them? [LIST] [*]There is a [B]huge [/B]difference between releasing coins with low mintages and making small numbers of coins that the public doesn’t even have a chance to get. With 1916-D dimes & 1913-S quarters at least the public had a chance to get them. They actually went into public circulation. [*]These dimes were minted just for a high ranking US Mint employee who knew full well that by giving it to his daughter he was essentially funding her retirement for the low cost of $0.10. [/LIST] Are you saying you would be okay with Mint workers making say 10x 2020 Morgan Dollars and then selling them to the public for $1.5 million each knowing Morgan Dollar collectors would pay a fortune? Or why not just have the Mint start making old vintage coins with a CC on them? Or better yet why not just let the Mint take 1000 oz of silver and Mint it into 1000x 1893 S Morgan Dollars? Face it: If the story is true it means whoever made them committed fraud and their descendants should not profit off of fraud.[/QUOTE]
