<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 24476825, member: 24754&quot;]Like every other ancient coin collector, I don&#039;t want this type of thing to snowball to the point of absurdity. However, <u>IF</u> this particular coin <u>WAS</u> illegally looted from a protected site, then returning it to the country of origin and punishing the criminals involved seems like the rational thing to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>A line has to be drawn somewhere, and I obviously don&#039;t want the coins in my humble collection to be deemed contraband. But considering the value, historical significance, and alleged way that is was obtained, this situation falls firmly on the other side of the line in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is terribly unfair for the purchaser of the coin, and they obviously should be reimbursed by the perpetrators to the extent possible. But, personally, I find it hard to be overly concerned about a billionaire recouping a few million measly dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
