<p>[QUOTE=&quot;greekandromancoins, post: 2970936, member: 87990&quot;]I agree with Nick. Almost all coins in the market (hundreds of thousands or more?) currently fall into this category of unknown provenance. Those coins came from hoards somewhere. Whether this century, last, or a few hundred years ago, almost all coins were dug up somewhere including coins in museums and famous collections. Check the BM catalogue and see if you can trace their coins back to an ethical source!&nbsp; If you collect ancient coins and take a strict view about their original provenance then there are not really many coins on the market to suit those needs. I certainly have not come across many. It is the wrong hobby for that where freedom of ownership is central to its enjoyment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
