<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2376298, member: 26302&quot;]Its the fact the government DIDN&#039;T intervene that today makes them legal to own. Same would have been the case here. If the government let them be sold in the large auction, then a lawyer later would show that is &quot;proof&quot; they should be legal to own.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am all for collecting what trips your trigger. But I am adamantly against theft. This is all this is, plain theft. I do not buy any &quot;retirement gift&quot; boloney. This former assistant superintendant had this piece, (and most likely others), illegally struck under his watch, and then stole one of them. If this former mint employee was still alive I would advocate jail time and revocation of his pension. There is a REASON this never was sold in his lifetime. The mint employee KNEW he was a thief, and risked prison if he tried to sell this in his lifetime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
