Is that dude wearing am "I'm getting hammered" t-shirt? Maybe I need to add this to my 2025 goals for acquisitions.

Curious. The hoard of 50 coins is valued at $1800. That's only 36 bucks each. That seems... low. Most of the coins appear to be Carausius and Allectus and I paid over $100 each for my coins from those emperors. Even if they meant "£1800", it still seems low.

Yeah, I also did the math even though I'm not buying ancients.

Much ado about nothing? ... though hoards are never nothing (unintended double neg)

Would be very fun to find antiquities and ancient coins. Oxford has an online database of ancient coin hoards. There's been over 6 million coins found in over 15,000 documented finds according to their locations map. Sorry, the map went completely out of focus when I downsized the file.
