Another hoard of ancients found, this time some Roman Republics. Good pics. http://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/43448
Really interesting. The photos are large and high resolution so you can identify quite a few of the coins. It looks like a lot of them are in great condition and well preserved.
I also like the large images. The coins look like they'll clean up very nicely. Great find. I hope they don't get stuck in a museum drawer - I hope we get a chance to buy a few. Spain seems pretty good about letting coins out.
Nice @Mat , and agreed with @Carthago ... I can identify several coins. I keep wondering how a couple of mine are in there??? Looking forward to seeing if a few from this find will be brought into the marketplace.
I always wondered where do these coins go? I mean after they find them do they keep all of them in a museum? Or do they actually sell them to dealers to fund their programs.
Many go on display, especially if its a small/local town, it's a big deal to places like that. Otherwise most tend to be put aside and I am sure duplicates or ones that they may have too many of get dumped to the collecting field.
