<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 4617989, member: 77639&quot;]The big, crucial difference between the Farouk coin and the Langbord coins was that Farouk&#039;s people secured an export license for that coin.&nbsp; I was a clever ploy taking advantage of lack of communication between US government departments.&nbsp; The export license was obtained from the State Department, and to keep up good relationships with Egypt, they granted it without consulting the Treasury Department.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Langbords made a fundamental negotiating mistake&nbsp; ... they gave the other side everything it wanted, then tried to negotiate to get some back.&nbsp; It&#039;s like selling your house where you sign over the deed first and then tell the buyer, &quot;Let&#039;s talk price.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
