Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 488 Posts	Posted 10/20/2010 04:39 am Seems a fairly low estimate for such a find - works out about Â£6 per coin. Still, not a bad haul for the detectorist! www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff
Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 10/20/2010 4:29 pm First reports had it estimated at around $5,000,000.00 USD. What happened? I would love to be able buy Silver Romans for six pounds sterling. Report this Post to the Staff
Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 488 Posts	Posted 10/21/2010 3:51 pm Suppose it does include 11,000 that are "too corroded or dirty to identify yet" - but still seems a very low estimate for such a great hoard. Wouldn't be surprised if the panel of 'experts' kept the figure as low as possible to increase the chances a local museum will be able to afford it, and stop them going into the private sector www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff
