<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Meat man, post: 22640820, member: 135271&quot;]This sort of thing makes me tired. Putting aside the question as to whether or not the coins were illegally obtained (and my bet is that they were not), can we at least stop pretending that every single ancient coin is somehow a sacred and indispensable part of a country&#039;s heritage? I guarantee that the Italian government has literally hundreds, probably thousands of identical coins currently locked away in storage. Yet they can&#039;t let anyone else own a few??</p><p><br /></p><p>What drives me up the wall about all these stories is that everyone involved is acting like they&#039;re somehow great heroes, proudly posing for the cameras. If they just had a peanut&#039;s worth of honesty and knowledge about ancient coins they&#039;d realize how foolish they look.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh well...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
