<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 24876935, member: 96746&quot;]Picked this up just before Christmas. A penny of Coenwulf, with the obverse die changed from Cuthred (King of Kent) to that of his brother Coenwulf (King of Mercia) on the former&#039;s death in 807 when Coenwulf succeeded him. No coins of Cuthred are known from the obverse die, so this was probably new at the time of his death, but the reverse die is an old one from Cuthred&#039;s reign. The three known examples are all from the same obverse, but use three different reverses all by the same moneyer (Duda). Grade-wise, this is the middle one of the three and was the discovery coin in 1983. All three can be seen on the EMC register at the Fitzwilliam Museum. It is always nice to be able to date a coin so old.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1596958[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
