<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blissskr, post: 1343914, member: 34882&quot;]Yes I read the whole article but what isn&#039;t known is why this owner was targeted specifically. I&#039;m betting this has something to do with some other issue with the owner such as taxes or something else illegal than the authorities just wanting to seize some coins at someone&#039;s or governments behest. Maybe these coins were obtained illegally sometime after 1922 when Mussolini put laws in effect to prohibit the removal of antiquities that would certainly give the Italian government a right to the coins if they could prove it. Lots of items were removed from countries in less than legal means especially during the two world wars and I just think giving the benefit of the doubt before deciding that the government is now going to seize what ever it wants is wrong especially when for quite some time the trade of antiquities relied heavily on black markets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
