Harthacanute 1040-1042

Very Nice.

 

Are all these coins (that you are posting) from detector finds around York?

Thank you this is quite a rare saxon coin to find. All of these finds are my finds found in quite a few counties in england mainly Yorkshire,Warwickshire,Lincolnshire,Northamptonshire. I don't detect in the southern counties but those areas are even better for finds.

Yes, it appears to be rare. I found relatively few in the auction and sales databases and yours appears to be one of the better quality coins. Nice to find a >$600 coin in the ground.

 

Makes me almost willing to put up with the weather and cuisine to move to England with a detector.

If I could get these for 600 dollars I would snap the dealers hand off Danish types are about that price. In this condition English minted Restoration arm and sceptre types 1700 dollars +. I agree about the weather though!! if ever your in england let me know I'll show you how to use the metal detector.

Sounds right. The ones I found were at least a grade lower and prices were a couple years old. I will get over to the UK again someday.

 

 

Alex..........I knew you would poke your head up on this coin eventually.

Hi Vepcorf

 

Is the coin slightly 'rolled', as best I can describe it? I see this coin is lilsted in the Fitzwilliam database, good job
