Using this same thinking wouldn’t every pre-1933 gold coin be FedGov’s property (because they were supposed to be turned in?).
Of course lots of them were in foreign hands at that time, and if you lived in France FDR’s little dictatorial decrees were not your law, so that coin was still legal.
I must be missing something. I don’t get it.

These people took $80M worth of their coins to the government for authentication? Rather than just a few, to see how it went??

Let's go back to the year Obama was elected....So if Obama government told me to trade in my gold, I had to do it???
Absolutely ridiculous.
So much for the wonderful FDR.

“, the coins were apparently seized without compensation and taken to Fort Knox.”
This will never happen, but if I ever have to go to court for theft, shoplifting or grand larceny, then I will just have to plead not guilty to the charges, and then explain to the judge that his terminology is wrong, and that it was not theft, It was a seizure.

The mint DID NOT meticulously track first strikings and issues and they were often exchanged to friends and relatives early. As long as the books balanced currency and bullion wise it wasn’t an issue...

Selfish capitalist pigs! According to my math, with 80 million dollars, our present federal government could create as many as 16 temporary road-working jobs.

Their first mistake was getting the government involved with the coins. It’d be like inviting the DEA over to your house to grade the quality of your pot stash.

A cautionary tale here... those who make similar finds should authenticate them through a numismatic expert and NOT a government bureaucrat. This is a damned outrage!
