<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 3531286, member: 76440&quot;]I&#039;ve taken several steps, personally, in response to these ongoing concerns:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. I joined the Ancient Coin Collectors Guild several years ago.&nbsp; To be honest,&nbsp; I&#039;ve not been particularly impressed with their communication.&nbsp; I received a packet after I joined, but I&#039;ve not received an update letter or email since (that I can recall). In fact, I&#039;m not even certain my membership remains in&nbsp; good standing, as I&#039;ve not received any request to renew or donate.&nbsp; Perhaps this is related to lack of funds, though an email blast to members is essentially free.&nbsp; Despite the poor communication, I certainly would renew, as I agree with the mission. I know they have an annual meeting at the NYINC where they update to those few members that can attend.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. When renewal of the Roman and Greek MOUs have been proposed, I always provide a written argument to CPAC against including ancient coins within the MOU scope. I don&#039;t know that these written statements hold much sway, but they can&#039;t hurt.&nbsp; Certainly, CPAC is more likely to hurt us if they think we are not paying attention.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. I&#039;ve gradually accummulated a library of auction catalogues etc., focused on the Roman Republic, that enables me to find old provenances for coins that interest me. Provenances are often lost in trade; however they are easily restored, if you have the tools to find them. This approach gives me the most comfort as it&#039;s entirely within my control.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
