Mate the Ukers know that this is a Rare and stunning find ...but you need to tell a bit more about the coin for our over seas cousins weldone on a fabulous coin

I vote banner, but because you are quite new, it might not make it. Still a superb coin, one I would love to find

I think it's pretty.

Actually, Silver Searcher is correct. The average American viewing this site has learned more about your history and coinage then probably anywhere else. So do tell.

Great info Ed....I'll add my bit now,...... to different types posted, first looks like Seaby #1159 Short Cross type, ca 1029-1036. + CNVT + REC X, diademed, draped bust left, scepter before / + AELFPINE ON ECX, short cross voided; in center, pellet in circle. North 790.

Second coin looks like Seaby 1157v1 Quatrefoil type. Crowned & draped bust left, partly within quatrefoil (virtually a circle, but still with pellet at each apex), the lower part extending into the legend; + CNVT REX ANGLORV around. Reverse: Long voided cross over quatrefoil, pellet at apex of each cusp, arms terminate in trefoils; +PV(?) GIZ TOÃ~P EOD spaced around arms.

This is very nice ! And I have never seen or heard of one like this . Thanks for the history lesson as we do not get data on finds like this over here in the U.S .
I vote banner also . And who ever is finding these is one luck person ! And send them back out as they
look to be on a finding streak .

How funny, today I just got my first Cnvt

I know how impossible they are

many thanks SS the going on your info the first one is moneyor Aelfwine (the man that made it ) minted in Exeter
and the second one is Thetford mint but i am having difficulty tracking down the moneyor but it could be Brunstan its amazing how you can track down the maker and where they were made 1000 years ago

The moneyer for the second could be Wulfgit, that's if it is indeed 1157v1, v2 might be Eadwine.

Excellent find! I was actually looking at hammered English coinage on eBay today, its amazing that you guys can find all these ancient coins. I'd be thrilled if I found a seated which is 700 or so years newer than your penny. I can't imagine what it would be like to dig coins like that.

 

[niffler]

I really like the coin, and the history behind it is amazing, but I was wondering about the coins size. Are they tiny, or modern sized. Congratulations, Niffler

 

[ANTIQUARIAN]

A beautiful coin with an amazing history!

Cheers,
Dave
