Holy smokes Ron, that Celtic gold is outstanding. Do an England trip is high on my priority list. Did you do any more mucking?

I think England is misleading. Colchester should be the title I guess.

CELTIC ENGLAND. Trinovantes. Addedomaros, Late I Century BC. Gold Stater (5.50 gm). Six-armerd spiral / Horse, cornucopia below. vA.1620 S.201. aXF. Rare.
Here is an over priced example of your lovely looking coin. It books in 2010 in VF at £575 although yours is better than that & a well centred example on both sides. So maybe about a £800-£1000 find! Very good for just 1 week.
Your find makes perfect sense as the main centre for the Trinovantes was at Camulodunum (Colchester).

I see you have an Italian Soldino or 'Galley Halfpenny' as they are often called, the history on these are quite interesting - research it, if you haven't already.

Crack on you still have time for another!

PS. (picture 4) Charles I never had any voided long cross pennies, more likely a Henry III.

PPS. I'm voting banner, any celtic gold is a banner find in my books. Still plenty (& I mean PLENTY) of long term UK hunters without 1.

That's quite a first week you had there Ron. Hope the 2nd is even more productive (if that's even possible). Good luck!
