<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1978218, member: 26302&quot;]Yeah, but the mint was noted for selling off pattern coins to collectors in the 19th century. How many 20th century pattern coins do you see in Judd? A heck of a lot less, right? Saying that the mint sold them to collectors in the 19th century is a pretty flimsy argument when the mint immediately after these cents were struck in 1974 issued a public declaration stating they legally have not sold these and they retain ownership. In my mind, this situation is more akin to the 1933 double eagles, since the mint has always maintained they never sold one, so any outside their possession is theft of government property.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
