<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1929011, member: 19463&quot;]It is a matter of opinion.&nbsp; I would prefer someone at the museum who has the ability to sort the 10k+ coins into groups and arrange trades with other small museums so each might have a display more generally of what each separately lacked.&nbsp; If there are huge numbers of the same thing, they could be sold in the gift shop.&nbsp;&nbsp; Instead, we see pride in quantities of coins displayed as a pile with no one knowing what is underneath. Below is what the best museum in the world sees fit to do with piles of their duplicates.&nbsp;&nbsp; I know, by BM standards they are just junk aurei not worth showing individually.[ATTACH=full]332411[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]332412[/ATTACH]&nbsp; Perhaps if I were to find 10k coins in my backyard, I would feel akin to each and every one but my current attitude is that no one person or entity needs a thousand duplicates just because they can.&nbsp; Has anyone published, photographed or identified those 10k+ coins or are they just in a box in the basement waiting for local coin buffs to show interest?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
