<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nerva, post: 3163571, member: 87761&quot;]Very good &amp; important point. The UK compensates finders at full market value, which I think is both the Right Thing to Do, and the best way to ensure archaeological finds are reported. They end up in big piles in museums because they are effectively free. I&#039;d say $5m is a reasonable low-ball estimate for the hoard. I bet the museum would prefer to spend at least part of that on other things, but the coins can&#039;t be sold or exported. It&#039;s a perverse outcome that they end up in a heap in a museum vitrine where they can&#039;t be seen or appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
