<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Puckles, post: 2560930, member: 82875&quot;]That article is certainly interesting but it has mentally tied me up in knots on this beautiful sunny Sunday morning. Maybe another coffee will help. Don&#039;t agree with her conclusion; Aldates stays, I have a vested interest!</p><p><br /></p><p>As for it being minted at Bamburgh Castle, I have my doubts, too. I am a fan of the Saxon series of books by Bernard Cornwell (starts in 866 and continues through to the early 10th century) and enjoyed the&nbsp; TV series &quot;The Last Kingdom&quot; which is based on them. Bamburgh Castle figures prominently throughout and I suspect that suggesting the coin was struck at Bamburgh was an attempt by the seller to capitalise on the interest stimulated by the series. Certainly attracted my attention! However, I agree that based on available information, York is a much stronger candidate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
