<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2484834, member: 71723&quot;]Can we please just stop it with this kind of rhetoric designed to scare and/or alarm the hobby? C&#039;mon Conder, you know better than that. None of those pieces are implicated by this precedent whatsoever. The precedent will obviously apply to any pieces the government has assiduously consistently sought to recover, yes. If you have any Martha Washington test strikes, beware. Ditto 1964-D Peace dollars and 1974 (D or P) aluminum cents. There is now a de facto zero tolerance regime in place for coins not issued from now on. Act accordingly. But the pieces that the government has never sought to recover, like the 1913 V&#039;s, and the 1804 dollars? No. Stop it. Laches prevents any action. That said, I WISH the government could snag them, but they just can&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>lach·es</p><p>[ˈlaCHəz]</p><p><br /></p><ol> <li>law<br /> unreasonable delay in making an assertion or claim, such as asserting a right, claiming a privilege, or making an application for redress, which may result in refusal.</li> </ol><p><b><font size="3"><b>ORIGIN</b></font></b></p><p>late Middle English (in the sense ‘slackness, negligence’): from Old French laschesse, from lasche ‘loose, lax,’ based on Latin laxus.
