In a routine house clearance in Leicestershire, a startling discovery was made that turned out to be worth more than anyone could have imagined. During the clearance, carried out by Hansons Auctioneers, a total of 331 gold coins were found in an unexpected hiding place - pillowcases and even a sock!
The gold coins, ranging from the 1800s to the 21st century, featured various monarchs such as Queen Victoria, King George V, and Queen Elizabeth II. Each coin was valued between £300 and £500, creating quite an intriguing collection. The find was so remarkable that it went under the hammer at the Hertfordshire auction house, Hanson Ross, on January 17.
