This wasn't the coin I most wanted, but it will be treasured nevertheless.

DENMARK. Svend Estridsen.

1047-1075. Penning (1.04g). Mint, Roskilde. Arches forming a cross. IIII IIII -III II+ / Two rows of I separated by lines; above and under a cross. Hauberg 36. Exquisite patina. EF.

A common type coin but with very nice eye appeal.

How does one get a hater to stop hating?

    That's just a really appealing coin, top to bottom.

    We are like children who look at print and see a serpent in the last letter but one, and a sword in the last.

    Nice. The obverse die looks a lot like this one https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=2543&lot=25

    Great coin! I almost bid on that one - way outside my collecting interests, but it just looked beautiful. Be sure to post a picture once you have it in hand.

    Just a beauty. Great strike. This engraver knew his stuff. Peace Roy
