But a few sceatta hoards have been unearthed, for example ... (99+) THREE RECENT SCEATTA HOARDS FROM NORFOLK in Norfolk Archaeology 2013 |...
But they (whoever that is) are still using the original Lanz-Ebay account. I'm still blocked from buying from Lanz since I pointed out forgeries...
Actually, I don't think that these clipped siliquae circulated with sceats. I'm not aware of any hoard evidence that suggests that they did. Also,...
My experience was different. I won a number of coins at the auction, mostly at reasonable or even minimum prices.
Yes it is is - not objectively but subjectively. Some people have made the assessment that the coin above is worth a certain amout of money, which...

What a wonderful collection! I hope you and your family stay safe.
Amazingly attractive for such a worn coin. I guess it was still acceptable at the end of the 2nd century after having passed through countless...
