Ammar, after what was just posted it may be a good idea to check in with the Saudi American consul. It may also be overkill, but better safe, etc.


Also, even though it's going to be ridiculous on shipping--I'd recommend not buying a bunch of silver in one shipment. One coin in a slab that's all noted for being nice and mint and so on--probably okay. Fifty coins--you're probably never going to get the shipment, Customs will.

Dave, thanks man, you just did me all the work I had to do :) So thanks for the effort. But also basebal21 and nina are right. I will have to check with the American Consulate here and see whether or not it will be a problem.

Nina, that last sentence cracked me up :P I will be sure that I only ship one coin at a time from now on. If customs take away a large shipment of my coins or silver, I might as well kill myself :P

Thanks all for the advice, it has been most helpful :)

Ammar, I can't speak for certain about your country's Customs, but I can tell you I have plenty of problems with just the USPS. Years ago I bought a copy of the musical Chess pa Svenska from overseas, and it disappeared at the Finnish border. Later I looked up postal regulations and discovered that it's probably because of music licensing--Chess pa Svenska is a Swedish-language rewrite (by the original composers) of the English-language musical Chess, and there's some technicality in copyright law that makes it illegal to import it. (Whoops.) I tend to always break up my overseas purchases, if I can help it.

Sorry mkman, I do not have any yet :P But when I do I will make sure I do post them :) Got to share things like this with the family :D

ninamason: Sorry to hear that. I think we just need to be more careful when dealing with purchases like this. But also Customs should be more lenient for reasons like your case, Or not! I mean they also take care of other people's rights. Such as your musical Chess pa Svenska's Copyright and other examples. Again we just have to be more careful with overseas deals.

The best way for you to aquire morgans would be to find someone in the states to pay. you can trade coins/ silver for them. Maybe we can set something like this up. :)
