<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2518008, member: 74282&quot;]The way the law is written makes it hard to understand exactly what does and does not fall under it. For example, coins of the Roman Republic colonies and coins of the Greek cities of Italy fall under it, so for instance, this one from Panormos I would interpret as restricted:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]536497[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Where it gets tricky is their wording of struck bronze coins pre-211 BC. I assume they mean pre-denarius(though the date of the introduction is generally taken to be somewhere between 214-211 BC) but what about those series roughly contemporary with the introduction of the denarius? If I interpret the hoard evidence to place them a few years forward are they suddenly no longer restricted?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]536504[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I have yet to personally have a coin purchase slowed down by import restrictions only because I&#039;ve purchased them from US dealers and auction houses. I have been forced to pass on a few nice aes grave and quadrigati for this reason recently however.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
