FIND OF MY LIFETIME!!! - UPDATE FROM LEADING EXPERT...

This type of coin has been on the top of my wish list for 25 years or more.  Now I have one.

It came from a pasture field which was hayed about a week ago.  I have had no other Celtic items other than this off this field.  Although we have noticed the soil is a good quality & less clay than the surrounding area.

This coin was most likely placed in the soil during a ritual to bless the land for good crops.

This coin was only 2inches deep (the field was ploughed about 10 years ago).

When I first dug it & I saw its edge, I thought 'wow a gold button!'.  When I realised what it was & showed Dad there was much shouting & arm waving, so much so the farmer & his wife came out to have a look Cheesy

Its a CELTIC GOLD STATER;

Ruler - CUNOBELIN

Minted about 20AD


Value - £500 ($1000)

To say I'm happy with this coin would be an understatement.

I am currently getting advice from the leading expert as it seems to be an unusual variant! (I will update later)

UPDATE (21/07/08)


This is what the Leading UK Expert said:

Congratulations! You must be delighted with this, and quite rightly so. I do like these wild type staters, partly because the horse looks so bizarre, and this is a good example of that.

As you say it’s VA 1933, of which there are 30 at
http://www.finds.org.uk/CCI/images-lister.php?&VA_type=1933.01
and another 45 at
http://www.finds.org.uk/CCI/images-lister.php?&VA_type=1933.03

I can’t remember offhand how VA separates these two varieties – something about the size of the little star on the reverse? I suspect this is not a very good way of separating them out, but no matter. I had a quick look for die-links, and there is at least one coin from the same pair of dies:

http://www.finds.org.uk/CCI/largeview.php?coin_num=97.1593

The obverse is quite recognizable because of the flaw on the second leaf up on the right, next to the M of CAMV. There’s another example of that obverse die here (which is listed as VA 1933.01, not 1933.03):

http://www.finds.org.uk/CCI/largeview.php?coin_num=67.0167

The reverse too is quite distinctive, with the ringed pellet very far over to the left below the horse. Again there may well be others from this die. In terms of date, Cunobelin’s wild type is usually placed somewhere in the middle of his reign, say c. 20 AD, so I guess your coin is coming up to its 2000th birthday!



THEREFORE ITS ONE OF ABOUT 76 RECORDED.

Quote from a leading dealer;
Retail; £550-600
He would buy for £400-450

Not that I would sell it, but I will give the farmer £200 to keep it.

 thumbsup   A super find for a most deserving individual!  Congrats and I know you must be on cloud nine to get one of your dream finds, and most likely when you least suspect it.

Nothing like finding a solid gold coin that is only 2000 years old, LOL,  I guess now we can hope you find a second one of a different variant.  

I did see one very similar to your coin on the Colchester site!   Again, congrats and may your 4th gold coin come this year also....

It was definately when I least expected it Cheesy

I would now like a Gold Roman Coin

The ones on Colchester are similar but not quite the same.  Mine has 2or3 dots above the M, & on the other side a dot above the O.

Crusader,

What an unbelievable start to your season.  thumbsup A couple of my buddies have been to Colchester twice, have detected day and on into the evening for 10 days straight, and couldn't get one of those Celtic golds.  Yet, another goes to Colchester on his first time, and found a Celtic gold.  You just never know.  You are definitely a very hard working and knowledgeable detectorist, and very deserving of that beautiful and very old gold coin.

Major congrats to you on your find of a lifetime!!

Thanks Captn SE.  I know what you mean about Colchester, I have seen some lucky US guys spend a week on the field & do better than me after 25 year! (Although it is a far richer area than where I go, most wouldn't bother with my land)

Although I found it, without Dad along side I would never have covered as much land & therefore found it (he blanked today)  We are a good oiled metal digging machine Smiley  He was thinking at the time I got the coin ' I will be happy with a nice button today & lets move to another field'


TO EVERYONE ELSE - THANKS FOR THE CONGRATS ETC...  ITS NICE TO SHARE IT AS IT HAPPENS

Holy Cow!  Persistence PAYS, Crusader--and you are the embodiment of it.

I am SO thrilled for you over this coin.  I'll go out and have a toast in your honor with the Iron Brigade tonight.   thumbsup  An Incredible find--and especially that it is a solid coin--and a beautiful example as well.  


I have a hunch I'll be dreaming about your find for weeks.

WOW! Just to touch that coin and to speculate what it has seen and heard. That's the "romantic" in me. If it is dated 20 AD and AD actually stands for the Latin phrase "anno domini" which means "in the year of our Lord,"  then this coin could of been around the same time Jesus walked the earth.  Astounding! 
Congrats on the find of a lifetime.

Will you be able to sleep tonight?

I slept well thanks, but before I went to bed I had to keep picking it up & looking at it.  Couldn't really believe it was real!  Also after a hard days digging I'm pretty tired.  It was in my thoughts as I dropped off.

When my better half came back from her late shift (12.00pm), I put it in her hand as she said at the top of her voice 'no way, your kidding' (and lots of other strange noices similar to me & Dad earlier that day).  It just proves that even though she has little knowledge or interest in history, she knew what it was & what it meant!


THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYONES SUPPORT

Welcome to Tnet.

Your statement underlined is very true, I see land in a different light than most.  I have the pieces of the jigsaw, that they will never see.
