[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7684486, member: 115909"]A lot of texts that were written are now lost. Even works by extremely famous writers like Livy have entire books missing. Plus it’s not outrageous to think maybe it just wasn’t written down because nobody who knew about it bothered with writing it down. Or maybe they didn’t return from their voyage so instead they were written about as crazy Vikings who sailed off the edge of the World not knowing they got stuck in North America. It’s not so much about a single person dropping a coin. It’s about a single person dropping a rare coin at an archeological site. For example if someone today in the US dropped a coin it would most likely be a modern American coin. What are the odds someone today would drop a Draped Bust Dollar? Practically zero since people today just don’t carry around Draped Bust Dollars and the ones who do have them would quickly notice it was missing and retrace their steps to find it.[/QUOTE]
