Brummagem Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 02/09/2020 10:55 am Hi all - I purchased this little coin years ago from the UK. It was in a group lot of old/ancient coins of India but I think it is (or is trying to be) and Anglo-Saxon sceat / sceatta. It looks something like this example (CNG link below) - but not the same. The size and weight are a nice match though (about 1.0g and 11-13mm). Also it does look to be silver to me. Any comments appreciated :) Thank you! https://www.cNGCoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=310640 Report this Post to the Staff
