<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 3270093, member: 96635&quot;]I went some months ago to the Manchester museum, the curator there received me with open arms and together we went through absolutely thousands of Ancient Greek coins that were stored there, I was there literately hours long (really amazing experience it was). Anyway, he told me that they don&#039;t have enough funding to give these Ancient coins any attention. After he pushed the museum for a long time they finally granted him permission to work with the coins 1 afternoon a week. In that time he documented the coins to put it in a up to date catalogue and also he would treat the coins with bronze diseasse (some were quite bad to be honest.</p><p><br /></p><p>He was more of a specialist in ancient artifacts (Greece, Rome, Egypt etc.), however his knowledge in Ancient coins was fine and I am glad atleast someone is taking care of these coins or literately as you say, they would be rotting away.</p><p><br /></p><p>So in other words, Ancient coins belongs to someone, museum or not, who can take care of them for future generations, I think that is the most important.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
