<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 4620657, member: 100459"]I saw an article on the television concerning museums that have coins and other collectibles that are sitting in drawers in storage that will never see the light of day due to the number of items that the government in the United States have seized. They reported one case that when a custodian passed, he had willed all of his collectibles to the Smithsonian, but when they checked them in, they belonged to them, but due to them sitting in drawers and other storage facilities, no one knew they were missing. Evidently, the Smithsonian does not do a regular inventory to ensure nothing is missing.</p><p>Just how many of the coins that are referred to in this forum are they talking about that they want returned? This is the first time I have read this article, so I'm a little late to send anything. Anyway, 99% of my collection is U.S. I hope they don't want us to return our collections to the Smithsonian![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
