<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 5354427, member: 110350&quot;]Almost every European dealer (including British) describes coins they send to the USA with a misleading (but not precisely false) description, like &quot;metallic tokens&quot; -- not to avoid customs duties on old coins, because there aren&#039;t any, but to avoid inviting theft, and inviting scrutiny from over-zealous customs inspectors who might decide that any and all ancient coins constitute stolen cultural heritage. So it wouldn&#039;t surprise me that American dealers would think similar fudging of descriptions is appropriate in the other direction. It doesn&#039;t make them idiots.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
