@llewelyn_morgan Yes, that's very true--the Tenby coin clearly doesn't stand alone. And absolutely, it's an amazing resource! :)
@llewelyn_morgan Btw, can you see this w/ your login? Coin of Indo-Greek king Hermaeus, E1stC BC, found Hampshire :)pic.twitter.com/nuFGvjeLKB
@caitlinrgreen No, but thank you! V nice. This from Cornwall is an issue imitating Hermaeus that's very common in Afgpic.twitter.com/o0WnWpGkxG
@caitlinrgreen Here, eg, are images of Gk coins that a Brit officer found at Bamiyan c 1840: top one's v similar.pic.twitter.com/GKgv46tRDb
@caitlinrgreen An ex on database of the lovely elephant issue beneath, too, but they don't think it's an ancient losspic.twitter.com/QqKjaXRtbD
@llewelyn_morgan It's an interesting question--they may be assuming not ancient loss purely on basis of rarity of coins?
@caitlinrgreen Yes, likely so. That one's a popular collector's item--such a striking image--so maybe that's influencing their thinking too
@llewelyn_morgan true, tho' was it as popular in 18-19C when they suggest lost? Also, seems v worn, would that appeal to early collectors??
@caitlinrgreen I'm inclined to agree with you, needless to say. We're looking at lots of peculiarly careless C19 coin collectors otherwise.
