Valuations

This recent find came in from Mike Ruczynski. It’s a Roman denarius of Trajan, whose dates are AD 98 to 117.

Roger Paul said he doesn’t unearth many Roman denarii so the example pictured here was a welcome find.

I’m now old enough to remember when a coin like this could be bought for 5 shillings (25p).

The coin is a halfcrown of Edward VII. I’ve seen a few silver coins of this reign as detecting finds but this one is rather special

He asked if I could identify this find

mages of Roman emperors appear on their denarii but so too do portraits of many of their wives

It’s a gold stater, which has imagery on the reverse but the obverse is blank.

The finder of this copper-alloy seal matrix asked to remain anonymous. The imagery in the centre is complicated and difficult

Roger Paul said this coin is his first decent find of the new season

Tom Burton thought this find was an Anglo-Saxon sceatta but wasn’t 100% certain. Therefore, he asked me to provide a full ID and let him know what it could be worth.
