<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7845551, member: 19463&quot;]Could you talk yourself into a coin of Hadrian or Septimius Severus that no one claims was found at the wall but, in truth, probably has about the same chance as one sold in the gift shop?&nbsp; Hadrian made the unforgivable sin of not issuing a coin showing his wall so we would just have to settle for something that dates appropriately.&nbsp;&nbsp; Septimius Severus repaired the wall and issued coins referencing Britain which would seem as good a souvenir as what a gift shop would package in bulk.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1350394[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t do anything that in any way encourages people to pilfer archeological sites.&nbsp; We have enough people who would love to see the private ownership of all coins made illegal so all can be placed in museum basements or melted down to pay the light bill.&nbsp; Don&#039;t give them ammunition.&nbsp; There are millions of coins found in farmers&#039; fields far from any recognized sites.&nbsp; Talk yourself into one of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
