A 2,000-year-old Iron Age coin depicting Britain's first ever freedom fighter has sold for £80,040 to an unnamed buyer after it was discovered by a metal detectorist.
This was such a thrill for me to photograph. I remember attempting to put together a type set of all the British monarchs that I could. It was very discouraging for me that even completing the 20th century was pretty much impossible. Seeing this extremely rare set ignited the thrill of being a young numismatist in me. - Phil Arnold www.coinlink.com/News/world-coins/goldbergs-acquire-legen...
