<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roerbakmix, post: 4791583, member: 100731&quot;]That&#039;s a lovely and rare sceat. I&#039;ve yet to add a series W to the collection ... though I primarily focus on the continental sceats (and mainly on series D and E). As [USER=109923]@John Conduitt[/USER] mentions:</p><p><br /></p><p>... which is true, if you know the sources. My collection is humble with 16 sceats, all series D (n=5), series E (n=10) and series G (n=1), though indeed all under 200 GBP with an average of 129 € (range 50-200 €).</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s indeed an obscure collecting area, and there are so many unrecorded varieties and (unfunded) theories. This however also has some advantages: 1) if you recognize the sceatta as rare, and the owner does not, you can make some nice purchases, and 2) there is room for new theories and research to be developed.</p><p><br /></p><p>To illustrate, here is my nicest (and rarest) sceatta, a series D BMC type 10 (only c. 30-40 specimens known according to Metcalf and Opdenvelde). Due to its rarity, I was able to die-match it, and what&#039;s more, it came with a find location which fitted perfectly to the other known find locations.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1164288[/ATTACH]</p><p>I&#039;ve written a breakdown in this post (<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/added-an-incredible-rare-die-linked-sceatta-to-the-collection.357883/#post-4313117" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/added-an-incredible-rare-die-linked-sceatta-to-the-collection.357883/#post-4313117">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/added-an-incredible-rare-die-linked-sceatta-to-the-collection.357883/#post-4313117</a>), though the title is maybe a bit over the top <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also, please share your other sceats![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
