<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3605682, member: 19463&quot;]I would like to think Christies would employ someone who would understand terminus ante/post quem and which side is up.&nbsp; Maybe not.&nbsp; While the coin may serve to date the deposit of the group, it really says little about the date of any single item.&nbsp; Either the coin or the dog could have been a family heirloom passed down for a century or more.&nbsp; If auctioneers dig my house someday they may decide to date my TV to 500 BC because there is a Greek coin within a few feet of it.&nbsp; Evidence is a suggestion; proof requires applying uncommon sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
