Coins derive their value from their rarity, condition, visual appeal and - most importantly – the size of their collector base. Our specialists are experienced at assessing preservation and identifying details that distinguish a common coin from a valuable one.

The Wilton Mint then known as "Wiltune" near Salisbury, had fourteen moneyer names featured on the known coins from this period of time, and was in operation from the time of Edgar to Henry II with one last bout of activity in the reign of Henry III, a period of nearly 300 years. The town was burnt by Swein in 1003 so minting ceased for a long period until circa 1020.
