[QUOTE="Ancientnoob, post: 2694364, member: 44140"]Wew..its been a while. I was convinced to go to a coin show with [USER=15445]@Collect89[/USER] and a mutual friend not to far away in Willimantic, CT. I imagined I would come up out empty handed as it is an American coin heavy show, but boy was I wrong. Prior to going to the show, Collect89 informed me that this was the show he and attended last year, but the special thing about this show was that these coins for sale here tend to only appear at this show and only once a year. Making a long story short - we spotted Allen Berman while we were there and of course he asks everyone, "What can I interest you in?" My response is always " What ever he light touches, and whatever it hasn't in a long while." After an hour or so box flipping - I smelled something... I leaned over to Collect89 and said, " hey you feel that?" He said, "What?" I said, "its this coin's history spraying everywhere." Anglia, Bristol William I, (r. AD 1066-1087) AR Penny (s. AD 1085-1087) 19mm x 1.37 grams Obverse: + PILLELMREX, bust facing Reverse:BIHTPORD ON BRIC, Cross P A X S in angles. (Brihtword on Bristol) Ref: Spink (2014) -1257, for mispelling cf BNJ 1909 pg.8 citing Beaworth 3 Note: Pretty high grade, toned. [ATTACH=full]605054[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
