New Year’s Day Update

Happy New Year to you all. If you’ve not already done so, remember to enter the Coin Quiz by 3 January. You only need to score 30 or more to be entered in the draw for Spink’s 2021 Coins of England. Five new valuations this week, including a coin that shouldn’t exist.

Plus a review of two major auctions coming up this week, both with coins expected to sell for more than £100,000.

In Detecting in the News, a couple of stories that demonstrate the good that detectorists do in advancing the understanding of the past and returning a long lost item to its home.
