<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2218400, member: 39&quot;]Maybe that is what Ursula Kampmann had in mind. There have been a few cases (I think we even discussed them here) of collections being seized because a collector bought coins from shady-or-worse sources. In such a situation (if there is an initial suspicion) the collector may be &quot;asked&quot; to provide evidence that the other pieces were not acquired under illegal circumstances.</p><p><br /></p><p>Somewhat amusing side note: One time, about five years ago, that even affected a police chief superintendent from near Munich. He had simply bought ten ancient Roman coins, without any &quot;pedigree&quot;, via eBay. Ultimately even the prosecutor/DA pleaded not guilty ...</p><p><br /></p><p>I just find it strange that Kampmann counts all &quot;anonymous signatures&quot; (of course I provided my name and location; they are just not publicly displayed) as expressions of distrust when it comes to the government. As I wrote, there are other reasons why a coin collector may not be interested in seeing his address published this way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
