<p>[QUOTE="Oldrdawg, post: 2806975, member: 84149"]There has been a lot of discussion about oddities and not-so-accidental errors “improperly” leaving the U.S. Mint and the government subsequently reclaiming these coins. PCGS has announced a “bounty” of $10,000 for the opportunity to examine and grade 5 different coins, including some coins that were never supposed to leave the mint, like the storied 1964-D Peace Dollar. It seems to me, however, that anyone who publicly admits to having such a coin is pretty much <i>begging</i> the federal government to seek its return. I wonder if the $10,000 bounty being offered to examine and grade some of these coins is intended to be (and should be recognized as) compensation for the coin that I’m assuming will be seized by the government at its first opportunity. Am I over-thinking this or am I missing something?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
