Alton Hoard Massively Undervalued !!
Dale:
Hi All,
I thought id make the article known to other detectorists, so that they will not try to cheat in the future!!
The ring alone, considering its historical importance and supporting evidence (gift from Augustus
to a British king) would be worth at least tens of thousands at auction today, and I can't imagine
what a Tincomarus gold stater with the complete name from the Alton hoard would fetch if Chris
Rudd had one! Those were the very coins that gave the correct name.

Interesting link Dale, but as this was twenty years ago he's left it a bit late to complain now!

There is no statute of limitations n the UK; or is there?
Perhaps the best thing is to just let it go! Easy for me to say but I'm not the one who missed out on a load of cash. ::)
probono:
If it is any help to people with treasure cases, I did managed to challenge the value of my hoard and get another 10% from valuation.
The way the coins were valued were different from the way I valued them (in my opinion the groats were over-valued and the gold was undervalued), but it ended up to the kind of value I'd be happy to pay for them.
We also know that the price the museum pays is not what you would buy coins from a dealer for, but essentially the fair auction price (without buyers premium or sellers premium) - and that's not book price either.
The problem with this case is that at the time he accepted the price from the museum so the transaction has been completed.
