I argue that the gov't having by its actions increased the value of the raw gold ,melting any of the coins was mal-or mis feasance in reducing the value of public property.

What about the 1964 Silver Dollars they minted in Denver and then melted? Allegedly they melted all of them but several are rumored to have escaped.

If you come up with one of these it will most certainly be seized.
