with ancient coins the numismatic value will always be worth more than the gold value. the UK has very strict treasure hunting laws. you need a liosence to look in the mud on the Thames and a 2d licences to dig in the mud. if it were me I'd try to find a private buyer.
Well in that case melt them down. Still a decent sum and nobody will know where the gold came from.
this is where I wouldn't know what to do. melting them seems wrong, but keeping them is pointless if you cant sell your treasure! But, I collect coins so just having them would scratch an itch for me personally
