[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 4594382, member: 59677"]Nobody in this proceeding actually cares about coin collectors. The agreement is designed to make it difficult or impossible to profit from looting Italian archeological heritage sites. Your comments along any collecting lines get dumped into the non-responsive category (worse if they are boilerplate). You could make a much more cogent argument that over-broad regulations are causing local sellers to get around the hurdle by shipping from neighboring countries not covered by the agreement. And this is having an effect opposite than the one intended: Once you are already breaking the law for a legal 200 BCE coin, what is the added risk for a 222 BCE Illegal coin? US Customs can't easily tell the difference, so bright lines become the norm "No old coins from Italy".[/QUOTE]
