<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 24477538, member: 24754&quot;]I&#039;m not saying that Greece has a rock solid historical claim to the coin. But, if the coin was found in an area that Greece had deemed to be a protected site, then they would have a legitimate legal claim to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an analogy, it makes no sense for the US government to lay claim to Native American artifacts. However, it would be illegal for a person to find such an artifact in a National Park and keep it for themselves. Not because it belongs to the government, but because one of the rules of National Parks is that you can&#039;t take stuff like this out of them (It is by definition &quot;Public Property&quot;).</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know enough about the specifics to understand the legal implications in this case. Just saying that, if it played out as claimed, then I think that Greece has a legitimate case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
