Hammer price of the EID mar coin 2.7 Million GBP I wonder how much the person who actually dug it up made from selling it.

US Import Restrictions on Persian/Iranian Coins?
arnoldoe replied to Sol_Invictus's topic in Non-Western
probably some vague law that is unevenly enforced.. you 99.9% fine buying whatever ancient coins you want.. but.. basically If you are willing to buy ancient coins online - you have zero idea where the coin came from and it could potentially be seized if someone was to really take the time to look into it/make a big deal out something you bought for whatever reason.. From the recent leu auction almost everything is listed as “From a Swiss/European collection, formed before 2005.“ . Lol -

I bid one a few but didn't win anything.. one group lot i bid on was also in last years auction where it sold for $400 I noticed the lot had two of the best coins taken out from last year. so I thought I might be able to get a good deal.. but... the lot sold for $300 more than last year despite someone keeping the two best /most valuable coins lol..

The current system just incentivizes smugglers to find people who dig up coins/artifacts they pay them a small fraction of their value while making huge profits for themselves and they can never report any findings if there were better laws diggers could legally dig up + report significant finds + get better prices (even if the government took a percentage)

yeah, probably 95% or greater chance they would have ended up melted for scrap if they weren't used to make that thing. example of a hoard found in 1714) Brescello Hoard "Circa 80,000 republican aurei minted between 46 and 38 BC, found with a vessel. Gold weight 650 kg." ""While ploughing a field, accidentally found a vessel. after dispersing a relatively small part, the rest was melted to mint ducats."
