<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roerbakmix, post: 3795372, member: 100731&quot;]I fell in love with this sceatta the moment I saw it. However, I have little to no knowledge on sceattas, but would really like to know the type and subtype. I&#039;ve looked in the CNG archive for comparable types. First, the coin:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1014066[/ATTACH]</p><p>Obv: porcupine type with four legs. </p><p>Rev: beaded square with cross above and to the left. Central annulet with dot inside. Four beaded lines around in &#039;swatsika pattern&#039;. </p><p>Weight: 0.79g, diameter 13mm. Small deposit between legs on the obverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>Comparable example:</p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=316789" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=316789" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=316789</a></p><p>Comparable reverse: </p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=373168" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=373168" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=373168</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The next one was in the (impressive) collection of my friend and forum member [USER=87271]@AnYangMan[/USER]. It&#039;s a continental imitation of a runic type sceat (photo below also by him). </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1014067[/ATTACH] </p><p>Obv: rather abstract head</p><p>Rev: central cross with four pellets around, below annulet, above cross patté, runic letters around. </p><p><br /></p><p>And the last one is on his way to his rightfull owner (that is, me). Photo not by myself. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1014068[/ATTACH] </p><p>Obv: purcipine type, &quot;V&quot; near head, small cross at the left. </p><p>Rev: (should be rotated 90 degrees). Square, with central annulet. Two &quot;T&quot; at each side, / \ below, with two pellets in between. </p><p>Weight, diameter and better photo to follow. </p><p><br /></p><p>Comparable example:</p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=359990" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=359990" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=359990</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I would appreciate any hints. Also, if you know about a (online) source, such as CNG research, I would very much like to hear about it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
