<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tibor, post: 3279287, member: 73385&quot;]The Roskilde piece has an interesting back story. The first two pieces were located</p><p>in Sweden. The first had just a partial date, the second a complete date. Since they</p><p>were Danish pieces, Denmark wanted the coins. Sweden refused. Denmark then launched an aggressive search of its own. One was found at a convent during excavations in 1943. Another was found in a collection. They searched under the wooden floors of all the churches that existed at the time the coin was minted.They found two more bringing that total number to six. The seventh piece, the one that did not auction successfully, I&#039;m not sure of its origin. If I remember correctly it was in a private collection. A metal detector might be a good idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
