philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 07/25/2013 08:30 am For Saxon coinage the conjunction word connecting moneyer and mint is often MO. The mint would be LIN (Lincoln?). The letter W was often rendered with what looks like a P, so PVLFERIN or PVLFGRIN may refer to a moneyer named Wulferin or Wulfgrin. Still haven't proved my theory yet, though. Edited by philadelphian 07/25/2013 08:35 am Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 07/25/2013 1:34 pm Well, I was close. Here's an indirect reference to the Lincoln moneyers of Æthelred II, and among them is a Wulfgrim. http://books.google.com/books?id=Ma...ut=html_text Report this Post to the Staff
