Five Greek coins sold in a Naumann auction were stopped by US customs en route to a buyer in San Francisco. When neither the seller nor the buyer could produce what I assume is provenance paperwork, the coins were seized and are being returned to Greece along with another 5 coins that the buyer previously purchased from the same source and seems to have turned over to customs himself.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is exactly what the Ancient Coin Collectors Guild and others have been warning against for years and most surprisingly these weren&#039;t expensive coins. These are similar to many of the coins members post here every day and according to the article these coins came to the attention of Customs specifically because of their low price. I find this extremely worrying and think we should all be worried about this and keep it in mind next time one of the MOUs is up for renewal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
