From a trade perspective, hopefully they will keep the collection intact in a museum as it would overhang the market for years unless sold off cheaply. As a collector, there is a good supply of these already, which mostly satisfies the market, so for those who just want an example there is little to be gained from dispersal unless they are quick off the mark to acquire an example of a particular type and mint.

Whereabouts was it found? Looking at the contents in the picture, it was assembled over quite a period of time.

It will be interesting to see how much they are valued as "treasure".

There must be  peeps who have a few of these in their cabinets spitting their coffee out.

All the Harolds.

This issue seemed to be getting "less rare" even without this hoard (yes I know they were never that rare to begin with).

I guess in retrospect it was fortuitous to have not purchased a Harold II penny yet.  Even if this hoard goes to a museum in entirety, the knowledge that there are so many floating around will surely impact the prices.  Well maybe it will.
