It is a matter of concern that draconian legislation is being introduced in one of the more important European states, and a major trading partner of US dealers which will make collecting of small antiquities and coins virtually impossible. A group of public-spirited collectors over there has started up a petition. I think it is important for us to show not only our support but also US disapproval of what they are trying to do. Please sign the petition not only to show our solidarity with German collectors, but to demonstrate our own commitment to coin collecting and the people to people contacts and cultural understanding it helps foster: https://www.openpetition.de/petition/online/fuer-den-erhalt-des-privaten-sammelns (there is an English translation).
