<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2526703, member: 39&quot;]There is that, but there is also the problem of illegal excavations in many countries. Lots of archeological objects &quot;disappear&quot; and are sold via dubious channels, and while such laws may not really prevent this, it will sure be more difficult for a seller of illegally acquired objects to offer them later. Basically I don&#039;t have a problem with that; I already mentioned the case of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebra_sky_disk#Discovery" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebra_sky_disk#Discovery" rel="nofollow">Nebra Sky Disk</a> in a different topic. However, while this disk is unique, most of those little metal disks we collect are mass products - and legislation should take that into account.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for Israel, I am not familiar with the situation there, but MünzenWoche/CoinsWeekly had an <a href="http://www.coinsweekly.com/en/News/Failure-to-Register-Inventory-Closes-Israeli-Antiquities-Shop/4?&amp;id=4283" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinsweekly.com/en/News/Failure-to-Register-Inventory-Closes-Israeli-Antiquities-Shop/4?&amp;id=4283" rel="nofollow">article</a> about the dealers two weeks ago. Quote: &quot;Israel&#039;s Antiquities Authority (IAA) has moved to close down several licensed dealers for failure to complete inventories required under new laws upheld by Israel&#039;s High Court in January 2016.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
