Re: Coin of new king found

The fake coins and artefacts these days are very good and would fool even the experienced collector. I was reading about the IA torc of Pulborough recently and this fooled a lot of experts until recently. That was reputed to be from the early part of the C20. When there’s money to be made, then they...

Re: Roman hoard from cornwall

I was at a talk given by Keith Bennett, the finder of the South Warwickshire hoard, (Roman). He said that during the official recovery, several of the coins disappeared, and did not make it to the report and to the museum. The people involved in the recovery were all academics from various bodies… M...

Re: Henry Cole is back for another hunt

I don’t really like Cole….. and not really excited by this format of TV. I‘ll plan not to watch it, but I’m sure I’ll end up doing so…..

Re: coin dealer loses 500k of gold coins in hilton heist
