Rare roman coin found..

Oddly enough it was found in a museum. Makes you wonder what else they've misplaced? http://www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/n...54.0.scrap_metal_piece_is_rare_roman_coin.php

Or what do they have and fail to exhibit.

I would like to get into the archives of a local museum just to see what has been squirreled away.

Funny you should say that Ken... I was watching History channel a few days ago when I first woke up (hadn't had my first cup o' joe). They were talking about some mummy and this and that, and they missplaced the mummy in the museum! They finally found it, but it must have been embarrasing to the curator!

And the news last night said that the priceless upside down jenny stamp they found on an absentee ballot was examined and found to be a fake. Now they think one in a museumis also fake. $hit happens! Monty

Hey,
I'm new here but i've been looking around for a couple of months so i decided to join. Now that you mention it museums do have some errors once in awhile. I was in NY just before christmas and i went to see the gold exhibit. As i was going through i noticed that they had marked a spanish gold 4 escudo as a 2. I know, not a very big mistake but still a mistake and it was in the same display as the 2 escudo so it was not really noticeable unless you really knew the spanish coins markings. I only noticed because i have a 4 escudo and did alot of research on them.
