<p>[QUOTE="James-2489, post: 31442, member: 2317"]Hello, I literally found the coin, I was at junior school age between 7 & 11 years when my father (between trips) took me to his boat on the Thames (River in London) During low tide we went exploring, I saw something shining in the rather smelly mud, never found the shiny bit but I had picked up the coin as well. The next day my father took me to the British Museum to identify the coin, they said it was in very fine condition and asked where it was found. They kept the coin, much to my dismay. A few weeks later my father received a letter from them giving details of the coin and saying that they would make an offer for the coin, or we could come and collect it. Which we did to very next day, I still have the coin but have no idea where the letter is, if found it would prove provenance and probably the value of the coin. The coin is 1st century AD probably from a Greek trader or a Greek soldier aboard a Roman Ship</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards, James[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
