<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 1801917, member: 40017&quot;]Yes - I have recently expanded into the Saxon era, and I do find the coins particularly attractive. Aethelred II and Cnut are certainly the easiest to come by, and you might pick one up in similar condition to the above in the £300 to £500 bracket.</p><p><br /></p><p>Increasingly in the UK our respect for the Saxon era is increasing. For hundreds of years historians, influenced by the Norman victory in 1066, tended to treat the Saxons as barbaric and unsophisticated, but it has become clear that their culture and art was in fact far more developed than the Normans. recent hordes of Saxon Gold artifacts show a very high level of craftsmanship and artistic appeal. I think even the coins show more style than the Norman&#039;s and Plantagenets achieved at any time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
