<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 2484879, member: 29643&quot;]I don&#039;t know... I only see two scenarios regarding the Switt coins:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) They actually were stolen. If the employee swapped in received coins for the 1933s and didn&#039;t log them, then the coins were clearly stolen.</p><p>2) They were *sorta* stolen. If the employee swapped in coins provided by Switt, then maybe Switt has some claim to the original coins... if he did it with no malice.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the first case, there&#039;s no basis for compensation.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the second case, Switt should have returned the coins to the Mint once he realized what he had. As a jeweler, he was likely subject to pawn brokering laws, which would mean he&#039;d receive any bulletins provided by the US Mint regarding the status of the coins. Once the Mint began to actively hunt the coins down, if Switt wasn&#039;t complicit in some form, he should have come forward.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
