[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1343231, member: 26302"]So many problems with these laws it makes me sick. This is one problem I have with these laws. Why are our law enforcement officials being involved in policing what should be happening at source countries? There is absolutely no proof where this coin originated from or was found. Exactly how does one prove this coin was found in a certain modenr day country and not another? Coins were spent and transfered with the new owner. I seriously have no problem with antiquity laws pertaining to objects only found at certain sites, like Egyptian antiquities. They simply are not found anywhere else. However, hoards of ancient Roman coins have been found in Sweden and India, but according to the US government, they believe they are psychic and can determine where the coin was found. Anyone interested in any coins who aren't screaming at their local Congressman right now I don't believe cares if this happens to them in the future. How long will it be before Massachusetts declares all MA colonial coinage belongs to them? Chris Edit: Btw I already have my call into my Congressman's office. I will try the Senators here, but they are both near socialist.[/QUOTE]
