BIG congrats, Victor! As a result of seeing your post I changed my CT "mood" to one with a green face to signify the old idiom, "green with envy". (I know the descriptive word attached to the green face is "confused", but there isn't a mood listed for "envious" or "jealousy".) I love hoard coins, yet have FAR too few in my collection. I did not know about the Appleford hoard so I used DuckDuckGo and found the following summary. For a MUCH deeper dive into the hoard see here: http://www.numisbel.be/1977_3.pdf
