About Me

- Peter Tompa has collected ancient coins for almost 50 years. He has written and lectured about cultural property issues for a decade. He is a contributor to a chapter on numismatics in K. Fitz Gibbon ed., "Who Owns the Past?" (Rutgers 2005). He has lobbied members of the U.S. Congress and the Executive Branch in an effort to ensure that the small businesses of the numismatic trade receive fair treatment from federal regulators. He currently serves as a board member of the Cultural Policy Research Institute and the Ancient Coin Collectors Guild. He also has been a co-chair of the American Bar Association's Art & Cultural Heritage Law Committee. His advocacy has received notice in the media, including the New York Times, the New Yorker, the Art Newspaper and the Voice of America. He hopes his views as a collector and lawyer will provide a counterpoint to the "archaeology over all" perspective found in most blogs about cultural property issues. This Web page is a public resource for general information and opinion about cultural property issues, and is not intended to be a source for legal advice. Opinions expressed here are the author's own.

Doesn't the U.S. Constitution protect its citizens from "unreasonable search and seizure"?
If you have a valid bill of sale and export license, is it not "unreasonable" to seize the personal property of a U.S. citizens?
Why is it reasonable to assume that all property of a certain type is "stolen"? Should not the burden of proof be on the government to prove it is stolen (at least in a free country I would assume it would work that way)
Aren’t personal property rights a fundamental tenet of a free society? Why is U.S. customs enforcing authoritarian laws?
