Here is a denar of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg, dating from 1023-1051. Dannenberg 648, N#108505.   Obv: Bust of Saint Maurice right. + SCS MAVRICIVS Rev: Building with three towers, retrograde legend + MAGDEDVRG Auction houses describe the structure on the reverse as a city wall/gate with three towers, but I'm not buying it. A large abbey church dedicated to Saint Maurice was built in Magdeburg in the mid-900s, and burned down in 1207. It's pretty clear to me this image is that church, with the normal set of towers: one over the transept and two out front. Yes, there appear to be walls to the sides, but abbeys were usually enclosed affairs (how ya gonna keep the moks down on the farn?)

A quartet of Edward I pennies, post-1279 recoinage. The oldest appears to be a variety from 1280/81; the youngest 1304 or so.

Thanks! Getting all of them was actually kind of an accident: I bid on four of them figuring I'd win maybe one or two. Who knew I'd be the winning bid on ALL of them. LOL!
