<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 2130448, member: 42034&quot;]Fortunately all the Italian collections of note appear to reside in San Marino, inside Italy, but an independent Republic which can legally export As Graves.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously many collectors &amp; myself believe such historical coins should <b><i>not</i></b> be repatriated back to the countries of origin but are best preserved and displayed by private collectors.&nbsp; One extreme and unfortunate instance of this is the recent destruction of ancient Persian artifacts and cities by Isis.&nbsp; Another is the destruction of German museums by Allied bombers during WW-II.&nbsp; Also even when museums have coin talks, their curators are not particularly knowledgeable about the history and significance of the numismatic items they own.</p><p><br /></p><p>My Aes Grave has been shown to a school class although it was gotten after I did my BSA coin collecting merit badge class.&nbsp; (I&#039;m currently in Brazil until next year).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
