<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 1015519, member: 57463&quot;]Two weekends ago, my wife and I went to the University of Michigan museums. In the archaeology museum, they had displays of ancient coins which the placards admitted were <b>without provenance.</b>&nbsp; I took a picture with my cellphone and sent it to the ACCG.&nbsp; Wayne wrote back that it is not unusual for museums to display material that lacks attribution and therefore the claim by archaeologists that collectors degrade the opportunity to do proper recording of discovery is fallacious.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My favorite is challenging a &quot;cultural patrimony&quot; advocate to tell me which national museum has a right to a Roman coin, struck in Constantinople, found in England.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
