No it was one coin. Unissued and originally stolen from the mint. That is why the Federal government claimed it. It was stolen property from a run of coins that the government never put into circulation.

See my earlier post to a link to a story (the story?). But as the blogger states - wouldn’t there be a statute of limitations on the theft of the coins? And I’m not sure on the rules regarding finding stuff that was stolen after the statute of limitations, etc.

Regardless - if I’m every lucky enough to find something like that - I’m keeping it to myself! (Unless I might find the actual owner.)
