<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CaptHenway, post: 8355880, member: 13813&quot;]A very interesting question.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an idle thought. We hear now and then of some metal detectorist finding a pot of old coins in a field, and it always ends up in the numismatic world. What if in 1700 Italy or France some farmer tilling his field were to come across a pot of ancient coins. The numismatic world is tiny and not accessible by peasants, so why wouldn&#039;t the farmer take the coins to a local village and see what he could buy with them? The merchant might say sure, why not, and take them in at one value and pass them out at whatever value he can get for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
