[QUOTE="JBK, post: 148367, member: 1101"]I can't argue with your reasoning, but I guess I would have just done it differently. I'd still rather have a few to myself even if the others wwre confisacted. Who knows what the policy will be in future years, regardless of what happens now. For example, 10 years ago no one would have dreamed that we'd have any legal 1933 DEs or 1974 aluminum cents, but now we have one of each. Anyway, the govt now has two issues to worry about. 1) They have always maintained that these 1933s are illegal and therefore they would need to continue that arguement to remain consistent. 2) They promised the world that the one 1933 they legalized a few years back would be the only legal one ever.
