A hoard of ancient Roman coins that was discovered in Cornwall in the U.K. has been tampered with, it was revealed earlier this month, with three coins allegedly swapped with other, more valuable coins. https://news.artnet.com/art-world/a...s-uk-2343962 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

I suppose the see extra value in keeping something they found, even if they had to "pay" more than they were worth to keep them.
