That's not how the ancient coin market in Britain works. Specifically, because of this...

Quote:
Two Cambridgeshire museums have expressed interest in acquiring the hoard.

...which means they will not likely never make it onto the market, and therefore will have zero impact on the current supply/demand of these coins.

Large coin hoards generally don't make it to market, because one museum or another expresses an interest in acquiring the hoard in its entirety. The finder gets fairly financially compensated, and the museum has to stump up the funds somehow to pay that compensation (usually via a public appeal for donations), but the coins will never actually "come up for sale" to actually affect the market value.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
