I've always said what was needed was a JCB
Wonder if he'll get a reward Title: Re: JCB driver finds hoard (Yeovil) Post by: probono on January 28, 2016, 09:15:28 PM Fantastic - it was good he spotted them - liked the cloth impressions - looked like a coin of Volusian.
I think that Chris Martin had a reasonable price guide for the coins, but most seem to be in the £15 bracket - still should around £60k allowing for some of the more expensive ones (if they are all in that condition) - but doesn't the museum take a cut for 'cleaning' them? |
