Interesting coin you have there ......:smile

 

First time I've seen one of those. Thanks for sharing.

 

Outstanding Coin

 

Wonderful! Excellence!

 

Thanks.

 

Cool coin Frank - but how much pocket money did that one set you back?

 

Well, it was in a lot of coins that I paid £326 for. The lot contained 21 hammered coins. I've just found out I have an Edward II Bury St Edmund's penny in with the lot and I think thats worth about £30-40 so I haven't actually paid a lot for the Aethelred penny. anyway sorry for going on...I probably paid between £100-120 for it but these coins go for around £120 (if damaged, pierced) - £200+

The lot of 21 coins contains a lot of nice coins...

 

OK nice going!...Especially if the rest of that lot included those pennies you uploaded in another post.

 

It included some really nice stuff...an edward III half groat and an elizabeth I sixpence aswell...I got a great deal.

Those alone are about £30 each on ebay

 

Very nice! The only Anglo-Saxon coins I have are Northumbrian stycas:


Irregular, Civil War Issue
AE styca
York - c. 843/44-c. 855
dot in annulet

Very nice, I own a few styca's and sceats.

I have a VERY NICE sceat up for sale at the moment.
