<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2765283, member: 76194&quot;]Orfew said it best...we are merely temporary custodians of these coins. Many of our coins may have been dug out of the ground in the 1500s-1700s, when digging for old Roman ruins was all the rage.&nbsp; Imagine if some of the at least 10+ owners these coins have had since then (some could have had as many as 100 owners since then) decided that because they &quot;own&quot; the coin they were going to put a hole in it, or put it in a ring, or do something else damaging to it? You would not have had the opportunity to enjoy that coin at all today (or at least not in its current condition) because of someone else&#039;s selfish act depriving you of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>But because the previous temporary custodians of your coins took good care of them, didn&#039;t clean them excessively, stored them with care, and handled them gently, these coins are still here for you to enjoy today. Likewise, I think you have the same responsibility to future generations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
