<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3021915, member: 76194&quot;]For those of you thinking about bidding on an ancient or medieval coin or artifact manufactured in an area that now resides within the modern states of the Ukraine or Russia, let this be a cautionary tale:</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=39]@chrisild[/USER] posted this story on the Chat area of the forum, but it is the type of story that would be more appreciated here.</p><p><br /></p><p>FedEx refused to deliver a 700-800 year old silver ingot because auction house and seller could not provide the name and address of the maker of the ingot from 8 centuries ago, to make sure he is not a Russian oligarch listed in the sanctions against Russia. Never mind the fact that the modern state of Russia, as we know it today, did not exist. You know, got to make sure Putin did not make this ingot 8 centuries ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>Read the exchange between FedEx and the people trying to get this delivered. Pretty funny.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinsweekly.com/en/page/4?&amp;id=5224" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinsweekly.com/en/page/4?&amp;id=5224" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinsweekly.com/en/page/4?&amp;id=5224</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
