I have two questions, one of which was asked earlier, but I wonder whether you might know the answer.
Do you know of other countries that have put a similar mechanism in place to sell medals to museums? That is my first question. Are there policies that exist? If so, what are they? Should we use them as a model?
My second question is this: Should this kind of bill give us some cause for concern? We are not challenging it, but I am asking the question.
Take the art market, for example, paintings, specifically. There is always a formal market and a black market or smuggler's market. With all the mechanisms we have today for selling something, a Victoria Cross could be put up for sale for $250,000. Could some people not use that as a way to make auction prices go up, for instance, if you have the museum offering $240,000 when an individual is offering $250,000? Is that a concern? What can be done to stop that practice? Perhaps we could use what other countries are doing as a model.
