<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roerbakmix, post: 6129669, member: 100731&quot;]Well, as CT was down on Monday, here&#039;s my Medieval on Thursday! Actually received it yesterday, on Monday. Anyway:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1245212[/ATTACH]</p><p>ANGLO-SAXON, Anonymous. Denomination: AR Sceatta (Serie A), minted: Probably Eastern England; 690-710 AD</p><p>Obv: Radiate bust to the right, somewhat curde, curved line of pellets beneath crown, legend (partly off-flan): TIC</p><p>Rev: TTo// standard, without clear tuva as.</p><p>Weight: 0.75g; Ø:10mm. Catalogue: Abramson 3-10. Provenance: Ex. Heritage Europe auction 50, lot 3935 (24.05.2016); Ex. World Coins Company 28-01-2021; acq.: 01-2021</p><p>Personal communication with Tony Abramson (28-01-2021): &quot;It&#039;s certainly Series A with the TIC legend. There are a few anomalous features as you point out - the large head, the curved hairline and the disintegrated tufa. I would suggest this deterioration and the light weight, places it late in Series A. &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>... and received this one last week (after Monday). It&#039;s a nice example of a somewhat scarce type, however, a slightly larger flan would have been nice:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1245213[/ATTACH] </p><p>ANGLO-SAXON, Anonymous.
