<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NewStyleKing, post: 3985569, member: 106483&quot;]In 1961 when Margaret Thompson published NSSCA(The New Style silver coinage of Athens-ANS) there existed only 1 known example of Thompson #5 Two Palms. The following year another was discovered in a pot hoard. Cathy Lorber found one in the Demetrius l hoard in the 90&#039;s...and then one suddenly appeared from a UK collection into Roma E-auction E55. I bought that. So that is 4 known examples , 3 in museums...but how many more in private hands sitting uselessly in private collections?</p><p>What is the point of useless private unpublished collections...worse than museums! Think of how many people buy from the auction houses and the coins don&#039;t appear ever again unless someone dies! If it is not published and studied what is the point. I railed against this in one of my notorious academia.edu papers called &quot;The British Museum,UNESCO 1970, coin collectors and me&quot;-give it a read under my real name John Arnold Nisbet[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
