<p>[QUOTE="PMah, post: 3646177, member: 106045"]I joined this board today after observing for a while, and of course the first post I see is on a key area of interest. Italy certainly needs to work on a pathway out of this morass and find a way to get accurate find reports. Almost all we know about the chronology and economic significance of coinage under the Republic comes from hoards, and black marketing and looting may be wiping out our last opportunities to refine our knowledge. Collectors could do a bit more than simply decry the situation and then buy in.</p><p> I will have to read the source more carefully, but I did not read it to say this was a single hoard, although it appears relatively homogeneous in the photo. Certainly the coins have been cleaned and prepared for something. Sale inquiries and marketing are often what triggers the investigation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
