Anyone collect ancient coins?

I've always thought it would be interesting to own something that was created and handled by someone in ancient Rome or Greece or China.

My wife is 100% against the idea, though, because you don't know where they might have come from and (therefore) you could be supporting grave/site robbers.

(I wonder if a case like this, thousands of coins discovered -- maybe sell some to collectors -- and we can feel good that they haven't been stolen.)
