Its Crazy to Fight the Collecting of Ancient Coins

Ancient coins are excellent teaching tools.

Their durability—and the large number of specimens available—makes them ideal collectors’ items. They encourage interest in the past, which in turn promotes educational programs in museum and universities, many of whose collections were formed or financed by hobbyists

Archeologists who attempt to smash the trade in artifacts such as coins are simply nuts. It is in their own interest that public interest in the study of the past is maintained@!Why are they so blind that they cannot see this??
