88% of Public Comments Either Oppose Renewal of Greek MOU or Restrictions on Coins

The Greece MOU extension papers show that these MOUs are special interest programs for politically connected archeologists and their trade associations. Those commenting who expressed unqualified support appear largely to be archaeologists who excavate in Greece and have to pander to the Greek government. Meanwhile, 88% of Public Comments Either Oppose Renewal of Greek MOU or Restrictions on Coins

Some 88% of the 207 public comments recorded on the regulations.gov website express qualms about the MOU.  And of the 25 comments in favor, those of AAMD member museums may support the MOU, but only with substantial changes. 

That is a good result, it shows that collectors can work together for a common goal. Let us see whether our government really is willing to listen to the voice of the people.
