<p>[QUOTE="Brian Bucklan, post: 2632284, member: 76544"]Just out of curiosity, does the museum keep every coin they've acquired or do they occasionally sell off some of the lesser or double pieces? I've been to the British Museum and saw a small selection of ancients (some great pieces by the way) scattered about in a single room, but that was it. Some were identified, others were just in groups. Just seems a shame that most of these coins sit in dark drawers in the back of the museum only to be gawked at by curators and invited guests.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
