<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1835307, member: 26302&quot;]Yes there is. Legal title of coins is obtained when you receive them in the transaction. First legal title from the US is obtained by the Fed or a collector when purchased from the mint. Its a myth that the US &quot;owns&quot; all US coins. This is simply untrue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding counterfeits, the only real interest the US has in them is to prevent them from being passed. This is why the Secret Service does not care much about collector fakes, they would be concerned, though, about fakes of any current coinage, so I could see them impounding fake jefferson nickels, but not impounding shield nickels possibly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Items like the 33 double eagle or 64 silver dollar are different. This is not about counterfeits but government property. On these they claim they know title has never left US control.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
