Clive of Historic Coinage is a top man to deal with and you will buy the real thing.When you are buying rare expensive hammered it is worth having a trusted dealer.I have bought Ashmore coins as Ashmore coins.Interesting in their own right.
...I hate Ashmore and his copies, every time I want to buy a Saxon coin I always worried about getting one of his fakes, thats why I am always posting thread asking if they are genuine!!
