<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 4937256, member: 74712&quot;]Ooooooo...&nbsp; I would like a Rouen mint DGR.&nbsp; I have my eye on a Curtisasonien example like [USER=96898]@Orielensis[/USER], but my wallet needs time to recover after my most recent purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>since it was asked, here are my two Carolingian imitatives:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1186271[/ATTACH] Early Medieval - Carolingian Imitation</p><p>Viking / East Francia?, 10th c.

Todd Hansen Collection, purchased from Superior Stamp and Coin</p><p>Note: Imitating a GDR (Gratia Dei Rex) denier of Charles the Bald (but likely an immobilized issue of Charles the Simple)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1186272[/ATTACH] </p><p>Early Medieval - Carolingian Normandy</p><p>Anonymous (Viking/Rollo-William Longsword), 10th c.
