[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7787993, member: 115909"]I’m sure that’s true but it misses the points I’m trying to make which is: 1). Native American stuff usually doesn’t sell internationally. Especially the big stuff. When it does I doubt it’s intercepted and returned to the US. 2). The overall market in terms of dollars spent for Native American objects is still less than the ancient coin markets. You mention that some of the stuff sells for insanely high prices. But the same could be said for coins as well. Some ancient coins sell for millions of dollars. But I bet far more money is spent yearly on ancient coins than on Native American objects. My overall point is that the US probably intercepts and returns far more objects (dollar value not quantity) to other countries than they return back to the US. Especially in corrupt countries like in China & the Middle East. I doubt those countries return anything at all if a rich Chinese businessman buys it.[/QUOTE]
