They're genuine and who is YOC? How can I contact him???help Google Dragonbloodaxe and you will enter the world of Pre 11C coins and good advice . YOC or Clive? is a regular on this forum and I'm sure will advise you. If you've found a hoard its in UK numismatics interest its recorded and documented...those coins are worth ££££ and you will be compensated fully. I finally had the coins ID'd and valued yesterday and they are worth ££££, you're right. I only have four, no hoard sadly. (I'm not a detectorist or a coin collector, story is I was out on a hike, walking up a steep track and in a moment of good fortune I guess spotted a coin sticking out of the mud. The soil was crumbly and loose (eroding I guess) I just dug around with my hands for about 15 min and found the other three, they were all no more than an inch below the surface) I was going to just try and sell them until you mentioned having them documented and recorded which I hadn't thought of but I see would be the sensible thing to do. I'll have to search the net and find out how to do it. thanks.
