Home...The way the current law has been interpreted.<br />Homeland Security has the authority to seize any ancient coins mailed from outside the USA to US Residents.<br />So, if you buy the coins overseas you can lose your money. The other effect is that prices will go up. There are many collectors and supply has been limited since some sellers outside the USA will not sell to Americans since their coins can be seized under the MOU with Italy. --- Alex K.Ancient Coin Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10255391110141295801noreply@blogger.com
