No they gave up the fight because when it was said and done their lawyer fees would have exceeded the price of the coin and not everyone has the money to make a stand on a moral ground when it comes to court cases. It is a well known legal strategy to win by attrition by making it too expensive for the other side to continue the fight when they have limited resources at their disposal and being the government they have unlimited resources. Actually in the real world people have to be proven they stole something [COLOR=#ff0000]EDITED: STAY out of political rants.[/COLOR] That is nothing more than your opinion and that is not the first coin that there are no mint records for. There is a long history of sloppy record keeping at the mint to put it nicely. No it's not it's nothing more than a waste of tax payer money further the long and massively inconsistent history of the government just acting when someone feels like trying to make a career out of it. The dime nail was never issued by the government either that recently sold, but its perceived value wasn't enough to make a career so they let that slide as a very recent example.
