It is likely that there will shortly be limitations on importing ancient Egyptian coins. You can read about it at Peter Tompa's blog site:
http://culturalpropertyobserver.blo...ctators.htmlI went to the government regulations website and commented. He has the link (at the "What you can do" section).
I belong to the Ancient Coin Collectors Guild
http://www.accg.us/home.aspxwhich is the one organization devoted to opposing import restrictions. I recommend you join. They say
"100% of all funds collected from memberships and donations to the ACCG are utilized in support of the ACCG's stated mission of promoting and nurturing the free and independent collecting of coins from antiquity through education, political action and consumer protection. "
