<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Graham Blunden, post: 4791197, member: 114388&quot;]Hello,</p><p>This is my first post on the forum, so I am hoping it will be of interest...</p><p>I have noted that there are quite a number of posts on here concerning sceats, which is great to see as generally the subject seems quite neglected.</p><p>I only have a couple of sceats in my overall collection, but found both myself through my hobby of metal detecting.</p><p>The sceat I am focussing on today is a W Series Sceat which I understand is classified as Metcalf D or in The Sceatta List as 108.50 Standing Figure with Button Tunic. The latter publication lists the coin as being extremely rare.</p><p>I have arranged for the coin to be recorded within the Fitzwilliam Museum online database under reference 2020.0203.</p><p>I hope that you will agree that the coin is in excellent condition, especially given it has been rolling around in a field for over 1000 years!</p><p>Given the rarity, and the period of history which the coin comes from, it is one of my favourites and so if anyone has additional information on this or the W Series generally I would be grateful to receive it. For me a great deal of the pleasure in finding these objects is learning about them afterwards.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1164244[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1164245[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
