Message:: [QUOTE="KLJ, post: 123952, member: 1910"]The article also says (It's sitting right next to me as I type this) that 1933+ coins will also be protected  from seizure IF the government - in the 'person' of the Smithsonian - already has enough for its collection.  If they do, and the Government has extra coins, (read 1933 Double Eagles) then coins are to be auctioned off.  That would also affect the 1974 aluminum cents, which the Smithsonian already has examples of.  The article also mentions the 1964D Peace Dollar as well.  As I read it, if there are, for example, 50  examples of that coin extant, then the Feds can seize a few for their collection, but ownership  of the others is protected. But, as my wife pointed out, what is "enough" for their collection?  Do they need an example of each die variety?  And who would make the decisions?[/QUOTE]
