<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Snible, post: 2940516, member: 82322&quot;]Everyone should read Peter Tompa&#039;s blog post from December 5th: <a href="http://culturalpropertyobserver.blogspot.com/2017/12/emergency-restrictions-on-libyan.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://culturalpropertyobserver.blogspot.com/2017/12/emergency-restrictions-on-libyan.html" rel="nofollow">http://culturalpropertyobserver.blogspot.com/2017/12/emergency-restrictions-on-libyan.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you import anything minted in Libya into the US, even from Canada, you it would be good for you if the seller included in the envelope some kind of evidence that the coin was outside Libya before December 2017.&nbsp; This could mean a previous auction catalog appearance, or just a note saying that the seller believes it was on the market in Europe before December 2017, or a note that says the seller believes it was dug up outside Libya.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect that if you import any Kyrene or Libyan Ottoman coins the country of origin should be Libya even if the coin has been sitting in a collector&#039;s cabinet in Germany since before there was a Libya or a Germany.&nbsp; If the seller declares for purposes of US Customs that the Kyrene coin you bought at a German auction was of German origin it might look like a smuggling attempt.&nbsp; But I have no legal knowledge of how this works.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
