So if you have one it was originally obtained illegally, no matter how you obtained it. It is similar to owning stolen property; you may have done everything right when you bought an Old Masters painting but if it was stolen by the Germans during WWII (and can be documented to have been stolen) it is still stolen property and must be returned to its rightful owner. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So why is ONE &#039;33 DE legal to own? Because there was a huge court case and the government agreed to allow that ONE coin to be sold (with the US gov&#039;t getting half the proceeds).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
