<p>[QUOTE="Carausius, post: 3126224, member: 76440"]Therein lies much of the rub. We expect governments to act reasonably and with legitimate purpose, at least we expect that in the U.S. No offense to anyone here, but I'd venture to say that most of the coins CT members collect would not see daylight beyond a museum basement (I'll excuse [USER=44357]@AncientJoe[/USER] from that generality). Is it reasonable for a government to impede trade in such items? This doesn't even get into the find spot versus issuing authority issue. Should a source country govt have the right to claim ownership of an item that they cannot prove came out of their soil?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
