<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kingdigger, post: 66468, member: 3960&quot;]hi could u help ive been told by british museum to get this coin valued by some coin dealers this coin weighs 5 grams size 15mm 13mm&nbsp; 3mm thick found in bushey watford near a possible iron age site below is what they said at museum.....</p><p><br /></p><p>Dear Alan,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It is an interesting coin - it is not like anything recorded on the Celtic Coin Index or Portable Antiquities Scheme. It doesn&#039;t look much like anything in the catalogues of either Britain or continental Iron Age coins. In appearance it most closely resembles a group of staters from Germany known as &#039;Rainbow Cups&#039;... but only vaguely and is most probably a previously unrecorded coin type. As a museum employee I am afraid I am not allowed to value objects, and would not be qualified to do so anyway. If you wish to sell it you would have to have it valued by dealers (see <a href="http://www.numis.co.uk/bnta.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numis.co.uk/bnta.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.numis.co.uk/bnta.html</a> ).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for a date, it is difficult to say - especially as we don&#039;t know which series it b<a href="http://watfordanddistrictmetaldetectingclub.co.uk" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://watfordanddistrictmetaldetectingclub.co.uk" rel="nofollow">http://watfordanddistrictmetaldetectingclub.co.uk</a> elongs too. For now it is safest to say that it probably dates to between the mid 2nd and mid 1st centuries BC.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>i have enclosed high res photos, i hope u can give a rough estimate</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>regards alan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
