<p>[QUOTE="Carausius, post: 2668266, member: 76440"]There are patron and life member levels. You'll be in good company if you join. Also, your membersip fees will help fight the elitist, U.S. archaeological lobby whose initiatives threaten to (1) severely curtail our centuries-legal collecting activities, (2) put the financial burden of enforcing anti-looting laws on the U.S. government and taxpayers rather than source countries and (3) put U.S. small business coin dealers at a competetive disadvantage vs. European coin dealers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just follow the money people. These archaeologists need excavation permits from source countries. So, of course they support whatever stupidly broad MOU a source country proposes - otherwise the source country won't let them dig! If they don't get dig permits, they can't soak their patrons for money to fund the excavation and their paychecks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
