An alleged record-size Roman coin hoard in Wales has ignited a three-way dispute and fresh doubts. After detectorist David Moss turned in 15,000 coins to National Museum Cardiff, two nearby farmers filed legal claims, saying the find straddled a shared boundary. The museum placed the cache under a temporary heritage hold, delaying display and valuation. Meanwhile, independent experts, including a former British Museum numismatist, say early tests suggest a small portion may be replicas mixed into the hoard. Moss denies any wrongdoing. A museum briefing next month is rumored to share initial dating and address ownership.
