<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 2417199, member: 23368&quot;]I claimed $1200 in purchases one time and duty was not asked for either. Perhaps they have some leniency in the matter. Once or twice fine, but the third time they intervene. I have bought many U.S. coins overseas on auction because they aren&#039;t collected like here in America. Therefor they sell for much less. Some foreign coins are valued by precious metal content, not by face value. Most of these are older coins not in circulation. The U.S. government considers many as demonetized and of no value. We collectors know better. It&#039;s like taking and exchanging a MS70 Draped Bust Half Dollar at a U.S. bank. They will give you another fifty cents (two quarters?) for it. That&#039;s all our government feels it&#039;s declared worth is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
