<p>[QUOTE=&quot;+VGO.DVCKS, post: 4647829, member: 110504&quot;]Thanks, Pellinore; a brilliant demonstration of the range, from &#039;typical&#039; to &#039;near-absolute best case.&#039;&nbsp; Your Groningen one is really exceptional, including the flan, never mind the amazing amount of legend.</p><p>Something did happen over here, just now, along similar lines.&nbsp; Right after losing the second Speier one, I wound up with the first one below, of Hermann, minted in Jever, in eastern Frisia.&nbsp; For comparison, the one below that, attributed to his elder brother, Ordulf, Graf of Sachsen /Saxony, is typical in every way; unintentionally anepigraphic. </p><p>(...I don&#039;t have any remotely comprehensive reference for these, except Dannengberg, in full view on Google Books (cordially despise the navigation).&nbsp; The two issues are variously dated 1059 /1062 -1071/2 (Ordulf) and 1059 (<i>sic</i>)-1086 (Hermann). On some web listings, the dealers (including German ones) don&#039;t even try to distinguish them.&nbsp; ...Sadly, I&#039;m having trouble at the moment finding one German listing in particular that gave the full legends.&nbsp; Sorry to be caught so far behind the eight ball on this.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
