akdrv Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Thanks to a large donation, Princeton University is in the process of becoming the first institution in the nation with a significant collection of ancient Chinese coins. Last May, Tung Ching Wu donated more than 2,000 Chinese coins to the university in memory of her late husband, coin collector Souheng Wu. The donation was organized by the couple's son, Lawren Wu, a 1992 Princeton alumnus. http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/jersey/index....xml&coll=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I hope they put them on exhibit and don't pawn them off like several universities have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Well, two universities in a 50 mile radius of my home have good collections, both are doomed in storage... possibility never to see light until they eventually reach the hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately that is what happens most of the time, they get short on cash and they pawn stuff off, sometimes carelessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
