[QUOTE="Ardatirion, post: 858908, member: 9204"]I recently received this email: This is extremely important to me. Coins are, if you couldn't guess, a major part of my life and livelihood. It may seem that, at the moment, this has little bearing on collectors of American coinage. But the restriction is on anything over 250 years old. If the government decides to extend it beyond coins of Italian origin, suddenly its biting into Colonial coinage. I know the political views of many Cointalk members lean to the right. This legislation is anathema to those ideals. Even members of the opposite affiliation can recognize that this is a direct threat to the collecting community. I urge you all to send a fax.
