[QUOTE="Roerbakmix, post: 4876658, member: 100731"]Thank you for replies and additional information! [USER=109923]@John Conduitt[/USER]: that's a really nice sceatta. I like it when they are a bit off-center so that you can see the legend that's usually off-flan, as yours. Thanks also for the historical context. [USER=87271]@AnYangMan[/USER]: that's dedication: I showed the photo to you at 21:39 and at 01:23, you posted this entry on CT :) I believe you're absolute right regarding the type (ᚹIᚷᚱᚨᛞ) which indeed seems to be scarce: the Ashmolean museum lists three (with identical dies, it seems) sceats of this type; and Abramsons' [I]Sceatta list [/I]three other (with one similar, but not identical reverse type). I'll try to rephotograph both coins later: they are indeed much better in hand. *Update: I found what I believe to be an obverse and reverse die match in the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAN): [ATTACH=full]1177888[/ATTACH] [URL]https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/510465[/URL][/QUOTE]
