The collection - which was hidden during World War Two - could fetch £10,000.

The proceeds of the sale will be split between the detectorists who found it and the landowner.

The coins are being assessed, but the finders hope they will soon be on display in a museum.

British Museum experts believe it could be dated between the 1st and 10th Centuries.

The Anglo-Saxons "made the whole thing from scratch" rather than reuse an old coin, says an expert.

The 1,000-year-old coins, which were found earlier this year, are on display at the Manx Museum.

A hoard of 36 Viking-era coins found in a Manx field by metal detectorists is declared treasure.

Metal detectorist Sam Egerton found the 17 silver coins from the Elizabethan era with his friends.
