<p>[QUOTE="dltsrq, post: 6528627, member: 75482"]Pedigree (provenance) is becoming more and more important as "cultural property" regulations are tightened. Eventually, a pre-1970 paper trail will be required for the sale or transfer of antique coins, similar to the situation today with ivory objects. 1970 is the date of the UNESCO "Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property", to which nearly every nation is now a party. For the time being, the Memoranda of Understanding are the most visible (and controversial) manifestations of the Convention. Perhaps the tide will turn when they come for the paintings hanging in the homes of politicians. Perhaps not. Caveat emptor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
