<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mcwyler, post: 24804499, member: 81754&quot;]Browsing an auction today I came across this:-</p><p><a href="https://www.biddr.com/auctions/nomisma-aste/browse?a=4034&amp;l=4769318" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.biddr.com/auctions/nomisma-aste/browse?a=4034&amp;l=4769318" rel="nofollow">https://www.biddr.com/auctions/nomisma-aste/browse?a=4034&amp;l=4769318</a></p><p>So a quite common coin minted in London can&#039;t be shipped out of Italy. Here I am in the UK and someone in Italy has the right to own it but I don&#039;t. </p><p>I don&#039;t claim it&#039;s my cultural patrimony or anything, I don&#039;t want that coin anyway, and the auction house are quite rightly following the law, but you can see how perfectly reasonable concerns about looting etc can escalate into surreal scenarios like this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
