Obviously the German Govt. got after Ebay about this, I suspect it
will not be long before all ancient coin auctions
are cancelled on Ebay since how could you prevent someone in Germany
from buying from a non German dealer even
if it was stated in the auction that sales to Germany were not
allowed? I don't see any way this could be prevented.

So if the Chinese censors object to listings of coins with the word
LIBERTY on them...

Chinese censors: "You must revise your counter-revolutionary posting
rules. Jump to it with all due haste!"

eBay lackeys: "How high, honorable sirs?"

Oops... that would put a big crimp in the sale of domestically
produced counterfeits. Never mind.
