Harold I Harefoot
I'm posting this from my iPhone from my hotel room, so someone please help and upload the coin's image.
For some reason, this coins from this reign almost always come poorly struck. This piece is the opposite. The surfaces look lustrous under a glass, and with nice toning. I disagree with the seller's assessed grade.
I'm very fortunate that the show is winding down for me, since I'm making Greece, Italy, Spain and Ireland look good.

TalerUniverse.com is a curated numismatic project dedicated to the silver talers, crowns, and medals of the Habsburg Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, spanning the 16th–18th centuries. The collection emphasizes historically significant issues, rare mint varieties, and high-grade NGC/PCGS examples, presented with detailed historical context, scholarly references, and high-resolution photography. TalerUniverse aims to serve both as a private collection showcase and a growing reference resource for collectors, researchers, and students of early-modern European coinage.
I want to point out that 26 years after the passing of Harold I, Harold II Godwinson (of Wessex) died at Hastings and William I, a Norman, became king of England.
Eadgar, of Wessex, became king of all England in 959. The Anglo-Saxon (and, briefly, Anglo-Saxon-Danish) Kingdom of England only existed for 107 years before passing to the Normans, thus laying the second seed for the first Hundred Years War.
Does anyone know what was the first seed to the first Hundred Years War?

So, this is supposed to be only a gVF? I'm a complete novice to these and frankly, most examples posted, usually AG-G if not less, tend to appall me.

Nice Harefoot, btw, EVP.
Let me stress that I disagree with the seller's grade.
