<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 3212707, member: 76440&quot;]I&#039;m not aware of any central resource.&nbsp; You can find information on Peter Tompa&#039;s blog &quot;Cultural Property Observer&quot;.&nbsp; There used to be summaries of some of the U.S. import restrictions on CNG&#039;s webpage.&nbsp; There are likely some descriptive posts on the Forum Ancient Coins discussion board.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, if you want to follow the cultural property debate and help fight against restrictions on our ability to collect ancient coins, consider joining the Ancient Coin Collectors Guild.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No, didn&#039;t mean to imply that.&nbsp; There are various provenance dates needed to meet various hurdles.&nbsp; If you are hoping to donate or sell your collection to a museum or academic institution, then pre-1970 provenance would be required.&nbsp; Assuming you live in the U.S., if you are importing coins from overseas, you would need either provenance before the effective dates of certain Memoranda of undertsanding that the U.S. State Department has entered into with various source countries or export permits from those source countries. For ancient coins of &quot;Italian Type&quot; that is a provenance before 2011.&nbsp; For ancient coins of mainland Greece, I think it&#039;s 2007.&nbsp; There are also MoUs with Bulgaria, Egypt, etc.&nbsp; These are only import restrictions.&nbsp; If you live in the U.S and are buying coins only from U.S. dealers, then you need not worry about import restrictions.&nbsp; Even then, I&#039;d recommend you keep detailed purchase records, invoices and dealer tags for all ancient coin purchases in case more restrictive laws are enacted in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
