The suggested connection between looting unique artifacts and supporting IS terrorism turned out to be quite &quot;fragile&quot;; many experts argued that most coins, minerals, etc. are not archaeological objects per se; and who knows what (in terms of lobbying) went on behind the scenes.</p><p><br /></p><p>As Ms Kampmann&#039;s update says, the fact that many collectors shared such concerns may have convinced the legislators that the opposition was not just a few unscrupulous dealers. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But as usual, making such a law and applying it are two different things, or rather sides of a coins. Now as for documenting your collection, &quot;pedigrees&quot; included, in my opinion that is something one should do anyway, at least with expensive older coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
