The Romans when they ruled England had no banks so the buryed their coins in their court yards
as seen on the history channel maybe that explains the coin

There are Europeans who build their collections by walking around with a metal detector after a good rain, most often around castles, etc. The erosion eventually shows some coins. This guy got extra lucky, it sounds like.

Spinks is THE book on British coins--it's their Red Book. If Spinks is auctioning it, I doubt it's fake...
