<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2518022, member: 39&quot;]As I wrote, if you have expensive rare coins that you may sell at some point, a proof of purchase makes sense. In Germany the current &quot;threshold&quot; is €2,500 per piece, I think. Also, the law differentiates between &quot;archeologically relevant&quot; objects and mass objects. The Nebra Sky Disk for example would be in the former category, most coins would be in the latter. With coins that have been in a collection for a long time, a collector will hopefully have done what I mentioned - document (with photos and witnesses) that a precious piece was part of the collection before the law became effective. Expensive coins bought afterwards should indeed come with some kind of certificate here.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my previous post I wrote that this portal site may not be there yet. I was partly wrong - it is accessible now <a href="http://www.kulturgutschutz-deutschland.de/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.kulturgutschutz-deutschland.de/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kulturgutschutz-deutschland.de/</a> but much relevant info especially from other EU member states will still have to be added. The federal government also provided a brief <a href="https://www.bundesregierung.de/Content/DE/_Anlagen/BKM/2016/2016-01-22-kulturgutschutz-eu-vergleich.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&amp;v=3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.bundesregierung.de/Content/DE/_Anlagen/BKM/2016/2016-01-22-kulturgutschutz-eu-vergleich.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&amp;v=3" rel="nofollow">compilation</a> (PDF, German) of cultural property regulations across the European Union, as a first rough guideline.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
