the lady is not cleaner, and type of the superintendent , to translate the noun from one language to another is not.
Person, who was interviewed said verbatim:
I am not in the subject , looked on the internet, possibly the collection is worth a couple hundred thousand .
Invited expert numismatist said that the auction coins can bring tens of thousands .

This is the essence of the media ... disgusting .

Bullshit ...
They write and do not of what they write ... do not even have a clue how to be a unique collection valued at several million euros.

So we will wait for rebuttal.

It can not disappear just such a topic like that.

I will follow - perhaps after a while will make adjustments.

On the right, visible in the corner trays with copper coins, copper might of Rome and Byzantium ... it's all relative to their auctions deshevka.Vse overwhelmed ... And then what they call a collection, it's just " Pioneer " selection when there is everything, and nothing specifically good .. As an example, prices for old coins and coins of Napoleon look here please: ...

You are absolutely correct .
The German press had written such a good part of the collection consists of commemorative medals .
A library director , who gave an interview which he said he was not in the subject , I do not see any difference between a medal and coin.

I too once doubt the responsibility of journalists cited this party.
