Would it really hurt the Government!?

I was thinking one day about the few coins that have become Icons in the face of the Numismatic community and was wondering "What would it really hurt to legalize certain coins"? I'm talking about the 1933 St. Gaudens, the 1964-D Peace Dollar, and the 1974 Aluminum Lincoln cent to name a few.

Isn't there someone to speak to or write a letter to that could be convinced that it would be good for the hobby as a whole to legalize these coins and get them out of hiding. Isn't there some sort of statue of limitations that could/should have expired?

Does anyone else feel like I do? I will never be able to ever afford one of these coins, but I think that it would be kewl to see them for sale.

Later, Paul.

Later, Paul.

    I would hope they would be sued dearly if they did. I wouldn't want to be one of the people forced to give one up, and then have them turn around and say it was okay.

    They were never officially released and thus considered stolen if they are in private hands.
