1. Anglo-Saxon hoard officially ruled a treasure

The hoard of more than 5,200 Anglo-Saxon coins found by English metal detector enthusiast Paul Coleman in December 2014, and estimated by experts to be worth around £1.3 million, has been officially declared a treasure, according to the Daily Mirror.

"Coroner Richard Hulett has ruled the 'exceptional' find was treasure, meaning that it goes to the Crown. However, Buckinghamshire County Museum in Aylesbury is set to bid for the coins," the Mirror reports. "The value will be decided in January and Mr. Coleman and the landowner can expect to receive a reward."

Coin World last covered this story in August 2015, when a the Buckinghamshire County Museum put about 20 of the coins on display.
