Reply To: Are ancient artifacts tamei?

There should be no Issur whatsoever here. Another non-Jew selling them constitutes Bittul. Meisi Akum aren’t Tofeis things with them as Issurei Hana’ah. There is no issue of Tumas Kohanim because we aren’t Machmir for a Cherev Harei Hu K’chalal by Kohanim (Eizeh Bayis Asher Tivnu Li). Buying these should be completely Muttar.
