DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 02/08/2013 11:49 pm I have been looking hard recently for coin to purchase...I am looking for some nice Greek Bronze examples and about half a dozen Romans (a variety of types and rulers) but also I have about 4 holes I need to fill in my medieval Britih coinage. So I stumbled across a decent looking anglo-saxon sceat which looked interesting and I was about to purchase it but when I looked it up in Spinks it seemed to be mis-attributed. This coin is listed a S793 (which appears to be quite a different coin in character and design) If someone could tell me what it is and what I would expect to pay for it I would be much obligied.

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 02/09/2013 08:31 am I worked it out after contacting the seller... he sent me back its definately S793 (840) So I looked in my Spinks and it is S840... Because my spinks book is a few years old and his is up to date. It is as the type you linked to Rooneydog, the type listed under that number in my Spinks is quite different. Thanks for the help anyway guys, I was unaware that they ever changed the catalogue numbers. Report this Post to the Staff
