<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1260914, member: 26302&quot;]TBH, when I first read the thread title I thought it would be about ancients. Reid Goldsborough just wrote a lengthy article in which he is retiring from collecting in part of the ethics. I agree ancients can be tricky. No one I know supports robbing dig sites, and the truth is most coins never come from important sites. If you wanted to hide your wealth, you did it in private, not where there were others around. </p><p><br /></p><p>Still, antiquities collectors mainly, and coin collectors somewhat, get blamed for financing looters. I think its not true for coins, but is true for antiquities. There have been a FEW coins documented as stolen from dig sites, and that does bother me. I guess knowing the overwhelming majority are not found there is how I sleep at night. That and the fact that it is the laws of the country in which things are found that force underground activity. Good laws like the UK have encourages dsiclosure and dig site information being recorded for posterity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
