<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 6426105, member: 74282&quot;]I&#039;ve seen a mix of them unfortunately. Archaeologists are for sure leading the charge but plenty of people with degrees outside of archaeology seem to have similar feelings. Even the current ANS president, Ute Wartenberg, is a proponent of MOUs and an ally of the Archaeological Institute of America in their fight to end private collecting. She even previously submitted a pro-MOU comment on ANS letterhead. This is particularly surprising given the yearly ANS auctions which often feature coins with no stated provenance. I&#039;ve actually decided not to renew my ANS membership over this, as much as it pains me, because the ANS does wonderful work and I very much enjoy their zoom meetings, but as a private collector it&#039;s hard for me to support a Numismatic organization headed by someone who ultimately supports anti-collector sentiment and legislation, and who has pulled the organization into it (by use of their letterhead) without any consequences. The ANA on the other hand, is as pro-collector as it gets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
