A very, very interesting case Alan. It sets a bit of a precedent as far as we are all concerned and raises far more questions than answers.

Theres a lot more to this than we have been allowed to know!

Great post

Well it looks as if they would of brought the case on the grounds of it being a presentation piece and never intended for circulation, thus not a coin of the realm. I do think she would of had a case, with a reasonable chance of winning, but she pleaded guilty so we shall never know.

I also think that it wasn't just not reporting the find, it was an "expert" advising her to report and she still didn't do it.
