<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 8303796, member: 75937&quot;]The coins from the hoard were packed in crates and taken to two museums in Bulgaria, with 68,783 coins sent to the museum of Sofia, and 12,261 to Varna, after which it was cataloged and published by Nicolas Mouchmov in 1934. Unfortunately for scholarship, more than 20,000 coins were looted and dispersed to collectors in the process, largely from the contents shipped to Varna. As far as I know, they are still in these museums. Coin Talk&#039;s own [USER=89514]@curtislclay[/USER] cautions in the 2003 reprint of Mouchmov that the Varna list contains numerous errors and omissions. These Pertinax coins are probably among these omissions.</p><p><br /></p><p>See:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Coin Hoards of the Roman Empire.&quot; <i>Hoard Details 3406</i>, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, <a href="https://chre.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/hoard/3406" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://chre.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/hoard/3406" rel="nofollow">https://chre.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/hoard/3406</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Reka Devnia Hoard.&quot; <i>Wikipedia</i>, Wikimedia Foundation, 19 Apr. 2021, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reka_Devnia_Hoard" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reka_Devnia_Hoard" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reka_Devnia_Hoard</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
