		<description>Mr. Sayles,

As long as we are talking about truths here, I see nothing mentioned in your article about what the requirements are to legally import those coins in question.  All that is required for the Cypriot coins is a valid export license or proof that they left their country of origin before July 16,2007.  For the Chinese coins the date is Jan 16,2009.  Neither of those dates is that long ago.  If those coins were legally acquired, those documents should be easy to obtain. The ACCG is well aware of this, but repeatedly leaves this information out of all posts, blogs, etc. that are written by its members.  Why? As an American taxpayer and private antiquity collector I find it outrageous that my tax dollars are being wasted on this farce.  And how dare you claim to speak for antiquity collectors!  You speak for unethical collectors who want to be able to purchase whatever they want regardless of where it came from or how it was obtained. I have no problem with the FOIA suit, that is how the system was designed, but the upcoming suit dealing with the deliberate attempt to import coins without the proper documentation is disgraceful.  You don&#039;t deliberately break the law because you don&#039;t agree with it. You work through the proper legal channels to change it.  I hope when all is said and done, the parties to this &quot;lawsuit&quot; are ordered to pay all costs incurred by the government in this rediculous scheme. The ACCG isn&#039;t even following its own code of ethics by attempting to import these coins in violation of its own country&#039;s laws.  Shameful! The ACCG should put a stop to this now by obtaining and supplying the required paperwork and stop wasting the taxpayers&#039; money.</description>
