<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pprp, post: 7850129, member: 94602&quot;]That&#039;s something, but as far as I read, this didn&#039;t go to court and the provenances were quite new and in any case not pre-70. One of the coins had a provenance that was not enough but <i>&quot;CBP indeed contacted the Turkish government, which presumably had no documentation and was busy with far more important matters&quot;. </i>So it was released just because the Turkish government did not care. </p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s consider a more valuable coin than these in the article, something unique that sold e.g. 30k. The Greek government spots the lot in the auction and tries to confiscate it. The coin looks similar to one in a Naville sale of the 20s. There are small differences when comparing the photo of the plaster cast and the modern photo. The weight reported in the 2 catalogs has a (0.5g) 3% difference. The auctioneer/consignor have no invoice of the Naville sale nor any other documentation. What would a judge decide in this case?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
