<p>[QUOTE="Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2178718, member: 28107"]No. The finding of fact for the Langbord coins applies only to the pieces before the court in <i>Langbord</i>; it says nothing about other coins, including other 1933 Double Eagles. "If" means that it is a question of fact and not purely a legal question. As such, it is not accurate to claim that the pieces are "unambiguously illegal" to own as it would depend on how the coin that was the subject of controversy was allegedly obtained and whether it could be proven in court. Going back to the Langbords, if some one was able to prove that they obtained a 1933 double eagle from the cashier, the owner of the newly discovered coins could (or at least should if the statutes are given their plain meaning) prevail in court. Ditto for the 1964-D Peace Dollar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
