Coiney Myth-busting


Whoppers
David Knell has a thought-provoking post on his Ancient Heritage blog - thought provoking that is for anyone other than a collector of dugup ancient coins, for it is well-proven that most of them do not think all that much ('Ancient coins looted? That can't be right!' Saturday, 2 May 2015). He starts off with an Israeli bust of seven dugup coin diggers and then continues with full British sarcasm:
But wait, that can't be right! As many coin dealers of the ACCG persuasion will tell you: [...] Ancient coins  [...]  are sort of ... kind of ... in some way ... well ... different.
Not that the US coin dealers stateside will get it, they don't do irony over there.
