<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1018842, member: 26302&quot;]I like the idea. Ancient collectors learn a lot from hoards, even later on. Having the hoard intact may yield information 50 years from now that would not be possible if the hoard was broken up. I know of many hoards in the past that if still intact we could today add to our knowledge of the era. There are lots of coins out there guys, a lot more than this is dug up every year, so don&#039;t fret the fact that these may never make it to market.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: To the OP, just to let you know, this is nowhere near the largest Roman hoard ever found, maybe not even top 5 or top ten. It may be the largest ever found in Britain, maybe. About 500 years ago they found a hoard of 400,000 Roman GOLD coins. Most were melted for the gold <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
