Earlier this year, the London auction house of Dix Noonan Webb sold an extremely rare found denarius struck by rebel emperor Carausius at London c. 289-90 C.E. (RIC 591). In choice EF, it realized £9,600 [$13,568].
The coin is one of several recent detectorist finds that have sold well in the UK market. In this instance, the finder was 62-year-old Richard Patterson, who discovered it in a ploughed field near Winchester. It was only when he got it home that he realized it was a rarity from the reign of Carausius who had ruled Britain independently of Rome from 286 until 293 C.E. It was his first major find in 25 years of metal detecting.
