<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NewStyleKing, post: 4573911, member: 106483&quot;]There is no answer. Ethically and for analysis reasons it is right, but without &quot;finds&quot; the new types will not be found and the excitement dies. Look at the Gaziantep Hoard, pieced together by Houghton and Meadows from dealers photographs . Lots of stuff was learnt from the reconstruction and lots of new issues found . If it was in a museum I doubt that any photographs will exist! I still remember the Heraklion Museum Minoan stuff with the tags&quot;NO PHOTOGRAPHS-UNPUBLISHED&quot;. One particularly is the bare breasted goddess companion to the famous bare breasted girly with a snake. It was found 100+years ago. Lots of Minoan tablets are unpublished and held back the decipherment considerably. Museums are mausoleums. How would OMSETI fair today? I know from a complaint written some time ago on Forum about the short shrift given to a guy who wanted his coin identified. They refused cos of UNESCO 1970 where coins without previous provenance are not allowed to be considered-even though they bought coins un-provenanced certainly in the 1990&#039;s!</p><p>So if they picked it up , went round to the &quot;counter&quot; and asked themselves about the coin they would have to refuse themselves!</p><p>I wonder if they ever look at modern auction catalogues? Or do they blind themselves first!</p><p>Will I ever see the Poggio Pincenze hoard New Style coins properly published-the tetradrachms in the hoard no problem, but the tri-obols are still waiting despite Jennifer Warren&#039;s appeal that Achaen league coins need appraising ( not by me). She is now dead, so is Boerhinger. I&#039;m in middle 60&#039;s-churn churn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
