<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 8402063, member: 26302"]Yeah, I really hate museums for all of the reasons cited. If they did what they used to do, and actually display their items, I would like it. I remember as a kid going to the Smithsonian and seeing the 1849 double eagle and other rarities because they were all out. I went a few weeks ago and it was garbage. Seriously, garbage. I personally owned half of the items on display. None of the great rarities they own were on display, sure a few nice Sicilian tetradrachm, but nothing unusual. I would rather have gone to a mediocre coin show than there. The only pieces I would ever consider donating are my true cross clay tokens, and that would be to a church if I felt that church may appreciate them. Other than that, I wish all of my stuff, if my kids don't want them, to be auctioned off back into the coin community.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
