<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2103370, member: 19463&quot;]That is good to hear.&nbsp; It is hard to tell from the write ups I have seen.&nbsp; The Roman gold is obviously a 12 Caesar set.&nbsp; The Greeks shown are also a non-representative high end group but having the coins slabbed will allow them to be handled after a fashion without reducing their value.&nbsp; We see press releases on such things that are written by someone in the publicity department rather than by someone in Classics, History or Art.&nbsp; I must admit that it seems a mark in the school&#039;s favor that he might be allowed to retain the coins for any purpose rather than selling them for the benefit of the general fund.&nbsp; The auction realization of something like this would buy several footballs.&nbsp;&nbsp; I see from their website that they have 11 faculty and 30-35 graduate students which I would classify as a good size program.&nbsp; Perhaps these coins got lost in the right neighborhood.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
