<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 13653486, member: 26302"]Sir, I believe you are mismatching your arguments. Everything you say about proven digs, antiquities, etc I am agreeing with, but you are conflating those instances and saying they always apply to coins. "The burden of proof must always be on the seller", guilty until proven innocent? How would we "prove" this to you? How do you prove it was found in a field absent a sensible country like the UK who incentivizes reporting? Your example given of the farmer is EXACTLY my argument of why morally bankrupt countries who confiscate private property is wrong. Many do this exactly to create bribe situations and steal from the poor. One of my economics professors was an expert in world laws and effects on prosperity. He proved the more overbearing the laws, the poorer the country. Basically, countries are poor based upon their governments laws, this being one of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
