An email from the Ancient Coin Collectors Guild arrived this week, 10/8. They asked for help by sending comments on renewal of the MOU with Greece and extending the Bank Secrecy Act to ancient coin dealers. Go to the ACCG web site for more info. I have written my note. Please add yours. We need your help on two important issues facing ancient coin collectors MOU with Greece before the close on Oct. 13th. A link to the comment page is here: http://culturalpropertyobserver.blogspot.com/2020/08/calling-all-collectors-again-please.html the Antiquities Coalition, a well funded and politically active archaeological advocacy group, has lobbied to make antiquities and ancient coin dealers subject to the provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act. My note notes that collectors often show their collections to others. This is a better way to share the culture of ancient societies. I estimate over 1000 youth and adults have held my lot of cut and well worn RR Asses.
