...anglo-saxon/frisian silver coin, a so called sceat. This coin can be dated to 680-710 AD and for me is certainly the find of a lifetime

Hi Joe, yes, i will probably leave the coin as it is (in "as found condition").

Wow, the detail on that old coin is amazing. I thought a silver coin that old would be well worn.

Congrats to you!!

One of the coolest ancient coins I've seen on here- congratulations!

Congrats on the find of a lifetime Folkert! It is in beautiful condition. What is the size of it, the Sceats I have seen are very small. I have heard many say this is one of the most sought after coins in Europe and the UK, the UK being under German/Saxony rule at the time. HH, Mike

 

[folkert]

Hi Mike, great to read from you again. The size of the coin is about 1/2 inch.

That's awesome! In the U.S. anything we find that's over 100 years old is considered ancient! I can't imagine finding anythign dating back that far. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Colonial Copper Zeus]

It sure would be nice to find older coins just like those around here. Oh well I do make the best of what's available. I'm happy for you my man.
