[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7683849, member: 115909"]In all fairness to them we have a lot more resources at our fingertips such as the internet. They would’ve either had to consult an expert in 11th century Norwegian coinage (I’m guessing there weren’t many) or they would’ve had to resort to the time consuming task of pouring through books looking for a match. I should mention the picture in my OP isn’t a picture of the Maine Penny itself so the real one might be in very rough condition and harder to identify. What’s interesting is the possibility that a coin could prove that a huge part of history is wrong. Rarely can a single coin change our knowledge of history in such a substantial way.[/QUOTE]
