    I mean this in all seriousness - before going to pick that coin up, I'd talk to an attorney if I were you.

    Why is it that I just can't bring myself to believe a word of your story?

    What I suggest you have your brothers friends grandfather do is to take the item along to the museum in Aswan. You know, the one up at the top of the hill from the Coptic church? I'm pretty sure they will authenticate it for him, as well as inform him of the penalties for illegally exporting such artifacts from Egypt. That is IF the item is found to be genuine.

    You won't find a buyer / sucker here.

    You are of course most welcome. You don't have to bother yourself to authenticate the coin for me. After all, i'm not interested in buying it.

    I have been led to believe that it is totally illegal (as in a criminal offence) for any ancient artefact (including coins) to be exported from Egypt. That's enough for me.
