[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 4602887, member: 10613"]Over the years I have had coins from quite a few different hoards, I currently have several from the Bishop's Wood hoard of 1895. These I leave in the slab. [ATTACH=full]1140099[/ATTACH] They were discovered in a jar along an old wall in England by workers building a road. It totaled 17,550 coins, mostly Constantinian. It seems that the hoard was likely newly imported into England, as none of the coins are from London, rather all are from mainly Trier, Lyons and Arles. The hoard was probably meant to be used to pay troops in the area. [ATTACH=full]1140100[/ATTACH] Through the years the hoard was scattered and many examples were given to museums. In 2010, Baldwins auctioned off the remaining 1,661 coins along with the repaired jar that had stayed with the original landowner. these coins still fairly frequently turn up for sale. The hoard was written about in the 1896 Numismatic Chronicle-- link below [URL='https://books.google.com/books?id=QPEEAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA3-PA209&lpg=RA3-PA209&dq=Bishop%27s+Wood+Hoard&source=bl&ots=HCIsdJUweU&sig=EPE02P2em2CdqnEJNz9bJbVa-DI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjV5eH8_-3cAhXq7YMKHVVbAdE4ChDoATAJegQIAxAB#v=onepage&q=Bishop's%20Wood%20Hoard&f=false']https://books.google.com/books?id=QPEEAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA3-PA209&lpg=RA3-PA209&dq=Bishop's+Wood+Hoard&source=bl&ots=HCIsdJUweU&sig=EPE02P2em2CdqnEJNz9bJbVa-DI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjV5eH8_-3cAhXq7YMKHVVbAdE4ChDoATAJegQIAxAB#v=onepage&q=Bishop's Wood Hoard&f=false[/URL][/QUOTE]
