Viggen Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Haxthausen says the museum there has had some of its most valuable and historic exhibits stolen, and to make matters worse for tracking them no photographic documentation has so far come to light. List of missing exhibits: Parts 1, 2, 3, 4 More than 7,000 rare and valuable coins dating back to Alexander the Great comprise 90% of the so-called "Benghazi treasures." The other items in the collection are various artifacts from the same period. All of them are uniquely important and utterly irreplaceable. via CNN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldrail Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Where does all this stuff go? I know looting is an age old problem and one that's become almost an industry in modern times, but who buys all this stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvadius Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Where does all this stuff go? I know looting is an age old problem and one that's become almost an industry in modern times, but who buys all this stuff? Small portable (ideally but not essentially valuable and/or unique) coins? Anyone who doesn't care about provenance, legality or who the seller is and has enough available funding to build up a collection of coins which no one else has.
