<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 1416430, member: 9474"]Chris, the reason why the US gov has not confiscated these sets, if they do exist, is the same reason why the US gov has not confiscated any other unauthorized coin leaving the mint since the mint was built. I don't know what that reason is, but IMHO, it has something to do with the fact that they only appear to interested in gold coins. Why not the 1913 nickels or a dozen other rarities? GOLD GOLD GOLD. Why is the mint protecting the half dozen GOLD sacs? WhY!? Why not sell them and help pay down the deficit? Its because they are gold and gold makes men greedy*. </p><p><br /></p><p>*some men, but not all, and when I say men, I really mean mankind therefore including women. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the 64 SMS, I have my doubts too. There was no reason to test market these as some people are speculating for the 65-67 sms sets as these sets were made as an after thought to collector's rage when it was decided to not make collector sets during these years. So unless the gov knew something way in advance, I don't see why they would have produced these sets, unless they were a special request by some high ranking individual.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
