This latest group of coins was not described as being from the Appleford Hoard, even though you could see it was from several of the tags with the coins.

here is one that is nicely silvered

Very handsome coin, Victor. I love it.

 

Great eye appeal, with the silvering adding to it's attractiveness, great pick up Victor.
