Looks like this hoard will at least make Libius Severus a couple of coins easier to add to my collection... If much of the hoard reaches the collector market.

Nope. This was found in Italy, by archaeologists. In Italy, everything older than 1500 belongs to the State, and archaeologists would never sell things they find to collectors even if Italy did not have such laws in place.
The entire hoard will likely remain intact and will likely end up in a local museum.
