Sounds like an inside job.

I would say so. I interviewed with the Mint and they are very tight on security.

“Sounds like an inside job.”

I believe it was. One of the Mint officials took a number of the 1933 coins out of the bags that were for melting and replaced them with other coins of the same denomination so the bags would weigh out right, then took the 1933s to a coin dealer who kept them for years.
