[QUOTE="tobiask, post: 2148783, member: 72028"]I have a general question. Did humans back then say "Well, lets keep this one out of circulation so that in 2000 years from now it will still be uncirculated looking!" Or was it just pure chance that after all the raids, wars, disease and reconstruction people found such coins in perfect condition and they were just circulated through collecting until today ? Did people in the middle ages also view ancient coins as valuable and safeguarded them until the modern times ? Is it possible to simply dig up a gold ancient worth a small fortune after 2000 years ?? I am sure all the crusades and both world wars thinned out valuable coins in Europe..[ATTACH=full]412018[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412019[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412022[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
