FREE: Roman coin - Genuine ancient coin

I personally follow the belief that unique and one of a kind items do belong in museums, preferably ones where they'll be accessible by the public and researchers. The problem is for the common pieces, like this, there are literally millions of them, and museums do not need them nor have space for them. For example, the US in 2012 produced 2,800,000,000 pennies, in one year alone. Imagine what the entire Roman empire managed to do over the course of 500-800 years. The best examples belong in museums while the more common ones can be kept and help inspire interest in future generations.

Certainly uncommon but not rare, people still find coins by metal detector every day in Europe, with large coin hoards containing thousands of coins every few months, especially in the UK of all places! I work in the natural history world and any time I find something of scientific interest I'll donate it, since I like to contribute to science and our body of knowledge. But the common material will just end up in drawers where they might turn to dust (I've seen this happen), or even worse, get thrown out in dumpsters because the museum needs room (I've also seen this happen!!!). Btw, nice Pokemon items, I never quite got into them, I was a part of the MtG generation, a little old for Pokemon by the time they arrived here.
