<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 7787962, member: 110350"]I would like to know what percentage of coins won at auction or purchased from mainstream dealers, imported from Europe to the USA with proper papers, this happens with. (I admit I wasn't thinking about Afghanistan, Yemen, etc. We'll have to see how things play out with Turkey.) Yes, it's theoretically possible, but I suspect that it does so in far, far less than 1% of cases. I think it's even more unlikely with Roman coins exported from Italy, given the need for an export permit. Same with ancient coins exported from Israel, Spain, etc. I'd also like to know how often this has happened with ancient coins (particularly Roman coins) exported from the UK. So I really don't worry, and I think some people are being rather alarmist if this is their reason for never buying from European dealers or at European auctions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
