The problem with sceattas and this thread is that few hoards have been found. The one hoard large enough to use was deposited at Aston Rowant around 710 and most of the types not in it are determined to be Secondary sceattas. With no other dates to go on, many of these start their wide date ranges in 710. Series O Type 40 Secondary Phase Anglo Saxon Sceat, 710-760
Silver, 1.05g. Figure facing, wearing long tunic, long cross pommee at either side, pellets on shaft of crosses and in field. Monster in flight left, looking back, gaping jaws, crest, raised tail, pellet outline, clawed foot below; foreleg raised above head (Spink 807B plate coin; Sceatta List 55-10 plate coin; Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles 69, 598 this coin). Ex Tony Abramson. Found Wetwang, East Yorkshire, late 2006; EMC 2008.0064. Edited by JohnConduitt

Those are a pair of super-nice Sceats--I hope you've got tons more to post! In the meanwhile, this coin will allow us to move back when we are ready. This Umayyad Dirham was one of the first ones to enter my collection. It was minted in Damascus and is dated 99 AH, which corresponds to 717/718 AD. I have attributed it as Album 131.

Well this has been an outstanding decade. Thx so much for sharing your collection. It looks to me like you must have bought up Tony Abramson's entire house or something.
Let's plan to stay on this decade another day just in case you find anything else relevant. We will drop back starting on Saturday morning.
