Walt, with all due respect, There is a missunderstand on your reply. What's it's "forbiden" is shipping Jewellery and Gems, but declaring the strike as silver or gold may duty get them back to you, anything else, without any charge against the seller. And putting down the deal, nothing else....
What i asked to each seller, is declaring each strike as Casino memorabilia, as i don't buy it to melt them, but to collect them.
