<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Original Skin Coins, post: 24672895, member: 80261&quot;]I recently purchased $5k worth of coin lots from the German auctioneer Kuenker. The vast majority of the coins were ancient ones, but I randomly (and apparently stupidly) decided to bid on a couple of Russian roubles from the 1800s. Kuenker listed each individual lot on their customs form and Fedex flagged the shipment during customs as having coins from Russia. Now they&#039;re asking me whether I want to A) purchase a &quot;surety bond&quot;, B) have the package transferred to another customs broker or C) have the package returned to the sender. I&#039;m inclined to purchase the surety bond as I think the price is $50, though I honestly have no idea what the consequences of doing that will be. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any advice here? Is the U.S. government going to come after me if I try to complete the import of these coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
