[QUOTE="Whizb4ng, post: 1937598, member: 54140"]Thanks AJ. I did manage to track down the listing from the Pegasi Numismatics auction. It is Auction 14 Lot 337 from April 11, 2006. However, it doesn't elaborate any further in the listing. Does anyone know if the museum's coins were sold in one specific auction earlier or did they send them out to dealers such as Pegasi for sale? That article is what made me think that it was the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in the first place. I remembered reading that they had sold off a section of their collection. I agree with your second point as well. My local museum has a collection Roman lamps and a couple of coins. The lamps only come out for undergraduate tours and for study by MA students. The coins are generally ignored and come out as an afterthought to show undergraduate students.[/QUOTE]
