<p>[QUOTE=&quot;racinghy, post: 1734582, member: 39819&quot;]I was able to find this, which will help the case to keep it for being seized by the gov&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>These coins are illegal to own.&nbsp; Do not consider this to be legal advice, but as a practical matter, the 1856 Flying Eagle cent had something very similar happen to it. Made as a test coin to replace the US large cent, authorization of the pattern wasn&#039;t granted until the 1857 issue. Again, test coins that were distributed were never turned in, and these coins are also technically illegal to own. But they come up for sale in major auctions every so often and I&#039;ve never heard of a government seizure of any of them. Should you actually have one of the rare aluminum 1974 test coins, and someone from the government tries to take it, I would cite the 1856 Flying Eagle as precedent for you, as a collector, to have the right to keep it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
