[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7787763, member: 115909"]You’re right it was quite a while ago. 2012. Here is the court documents themselves if you’d like to see. [URL]https://www.ca4.uscourts.gov/Opinions/112012.P.pdf[/URL] As for Native American objects I think it’s a bit different since usually they confiscate that stuff from Americans rather than from citizens of other countries so it’s not like stealing in the sense of foreign countries taking stuff from Americans. Also in my experience most Native American stuff doesn’t have a huge price tag like coins get. For example an aureus of Brutus can sell for $1 million or more so if another country takes it without reimbursement they are basically stealing $1 million or more dollars from a citizen of another nation. I don’t think I’ve seen Native American objects selling for that kind of money. Also even modern Americans have a cultural heritage. To compare it to what other countries are doing they should start refusing to allow exportation of 1804 Proof Dollars and Double Eagles and demand the return of any American coin pre-1900 with a market value of over $5,000.[/QUOTE]
