<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2071318, member: 19463"]The red lettering is also on the Caesar coin and gives the accession number of the item in some museum. With one that complex, I suspect we could find out which museum did it. A number starting "67." might provide a year date and since the item is listed as "<i>Gift of C. Ruxton Love Jr., 1967" </i>we will have to pronounce the guilty party the Met. I have coins marked in 'museum red' an consider the practice a bit like I consider graffiti on the walls of natural places. You can get away with a lot if you are a museum or father of your country but we better not catch guys named Bing trying it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":inpain:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> "Fools' names and fools' faces often appear in public places." </p><p><br /></p><p>18 - I suffer, too, just like an aureus would.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]383524[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>At Natural Bridge, Virginia, where George Washington was surveying at the time...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]383525[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
