I ordered this the other day. It's a penny from Edward the Elder 899-924. The Anglo-saxon king who defeated the vikings
and put an end to Danelaw. Text

    terrific coin Python... I like it and I know I have said this at least 3 times if not more... you truly have an ability to pick out great looking coins on the internet. Congrats on another excellent example of a tough item that you are now able to add to your collection.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    indeed beautiful and it makes me wonder why you liked my edward i penny so much especially when your icon of same coin is so much cleaner / detailed.

    do you mind if i ask what you paid?

    first became interested in cardboard at the age of three. since then i have collected varying examples of textures, corregation grades, glue types, etc. from all over the world. Finding this site and fellow collectors who are as equally devoted to the phenomenon has brought a whole new point, purpose and meaning to my exsitence.

    Neat coin, I haven't branched into that era yet, someday perhaps I'll get there. In the interim I get to look at your cools stuff.
