<p>[QUOTE="LA_Geezer, post: 3239959, member: 89393"]I'm sure you are 100% right about this, [USER=78298]@Michael K[/USER] and while it's really no comparison to going to the Louvre, unless such a costly coin were donated with stipulations, it makes sense to me that if the coin were purchased with a museum's own funds, I might encourage it to sell the coin in order to pay for some other exhibit that people might enjoy seeing more. I had the great privilege to live in Paris as a teenager during which I had the memorable experiences of visiting the Louvre and all of the other sites that helped to make that city famous almost sixty years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>While this might sound silly, I was saddened to learn that the Roy Rogers Museum had closed shortly after his death decades ago. Time had taken its toll, though, as his fans grew old with him and passed on. I had the pleasure of seeing and talking with Roy several times back in the 1960s when he visited Washington, D.C. on business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
