@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. -
@llewelyn_morgan indeed! As test, I've done a map plotting all the post-medieval Indian tourist losses--pattern seems but different to me...
