<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3041395, member: 78244&quot;]As I have been traveling through Europe this semester, I have been keeping an eye out for coin stores with the hopes of cherrypicking some cool US coins. Well, this weekend I traveled to the Nice/Monaco area, and I stumbled across a small-ish coin shop. I then abandoned my friend to peruse the shop’s selection of stuff available. The stock was mostly stamps, but there was a fair bit of coins as well. I ask the owner if he had any US coins, and he brought me a few binder pages to peruse. They consisted mostly of average coins that you would see at flea markets (Morgans, wheat and Indian cents, modern silver, some low-grade older stuff, etc.), but then there was this coin. I immediately pull it out of the page while trying to keep a straight face. When I asked the dealer how much, he said that because it was not in any of his books, he thought it was a fake, so he wanted €10. While continuing my poker face, I look it over a little longer to act like I was thinking about it, and then I gave him a €10 note. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin I got was a 1964 D Peace dollar. It has a wonderful golden tone, though the reverse has rim bumps and a couple slightly heavy hits. The luster is brilliant, and I am quite happy how well the pictures came out with my iPad and the crappy lighting in my hotel room. I am worried about what I should do with it since I cannot import it to the US. Can the US confiscate something like this while it is in a different country? I’d like to hear your suggestions.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am still wondering how the heck it got there. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]759236[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]759237[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
