Today was the day my wee runic find was due to go before the Treasure Valuation Committee and I emailed the Treasure Department at the British Museum to make sure.
Fi from the Treasure Department has kindly replied as follows:
Dear Corinne,
Yes, your find did come up in the TVC today; the DCMS will be in touch
formally, but I can let you know that the committee discussed the find,
and decided to get a second provisional valuation before making a
recommendation. They do this sometimes, when they want to be really sure
before making a final decision.The DCMS will no doubt aim to have this in time for the next TVC, but it
does depend on the provisional valuer’s schedule - they will be in touch
to inform you of this over the next few days I’m sure, and when they
have it, will communicate the second valuation to you in the same way as
before, prior to the relevant meeting.Sorry not to have more concrete news!
Regards, Fi
Thanks Fi!
