<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8300577, member: 110350&quot;]Let&#039;s not be pejorative here! It&#039;s not mumbo-jumbo; it&#039;s just a shorthand description of the trail of definitions one has to follow in order to find out what it means. Thus, &quot;Italian or Greek coins&quot; doesn&#039;t mean <u>all</u> Italian or Greek coins; it means Italian or Greek coins as defined by the applicable regulations.</p><p><br /></p><p>In all seriousness, Nomos did a much better job of explaining the meaning in the &quot;Certificate of Antique Declaration&quot; accompanying the coins I bought in the Nomos Obolos Auction 22 last month.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thus, the Certificate states that because one of my coins was made in present-day Lebanon and the other in present-day Italy in 161-180 AD, they didn&#039;t fall within the applicable regulations defining coins of Greek, Italian, or Turkish origins covered by&nbsp; import restrictions, and, therefore, are excluded from those restrictions. (See the second and third columns on page 2 at the link provided by [USER=31620]@maridvnvm[/USER]). The final three paragraphs of the Certificate summarize the relevant restrictions on &quot;Greek,&quot; &quot;Italian,&quot; and &quot;Turkish&quot; coins much more succinctly than the regulations themselves:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1468395[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thus, for Roman coins, as long as they were outside of Italy before Jan 19, 2011 OR were struck after 211 BC, it&#039;s OK to import them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would assume that your coins from Gorny must be excluded from the import restrictions for similar reasons. Gorny simply failed to provide an explanation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
