Sevington, Wiltshire, hoard, 1834 (see Archaeologiaxxvii, pl. xxiii no. 2)
The Sevington hoard is not recorded as a provenance for this coin in any of the sale catalogues prior to the publication of SCBI 20 in 1973. The hoard, discovered on a farm at Sevington in North Wiltshire in 1834, contained 70 coins, as well as a quantity of silver objects including two that were described as ' a spoon and a fork'. The hoard was briefly described by Edward Hawkins in a paper read to the Society of Antiquities of London in 1837, and is dealt with more thoroughly by C. E. Blunt in BNJ vol. XLI (1972) pp. 7-13.
The bulk of the hoard was aquired by Mr C. W. Loscombe who at the time was living at Pickwick House in Corsham, just three miles south of Sevington. His collection was dispersed by Sotheby in an eight day auction containing 1,472 lots, in 1855 ('the late C.W. Loscombe Esq. F.S.A. of Clifton comprising ... Ancient British and Anglo-Saxon coins many being of great rarity & interest'). In the Spink library copy of the Loscombe catalogue under lot 1031 it is noted 'This and many other Saxon coins in this collection were found at Sevington in Wiltshire, see Archeologia.' Under lots 1034-1037 (Sceattas) it is noted 'these Berhtulfs were all from Sevington, and none of them fine, they all sold well, but the price of 1036 was most extravagant.' There were two coins of Archbishop Wulfred in the collection, lots 1055 and 1056. Under lot 1056, the coin offered here, it is written 'This and the preceeding lot were from Sevington & both extr. fine.'

Important Information
SALEROOM NOTICES:
lot 39 Burgred Penny - The coin is as the example described by Hawkins from the Gravesend Hoard, but it is not necessarily the same coin. The provenance should read POSSIBLY from the Gravesend Hoard.
Lot 40 Coelwulf II Penny - the flaw on the neck is not a metal flaw (the metal is very good) but is caused in the strike, perhaps an obstruction on or occlusion in the die, causing the depression on the king’s neck. The estimate should be £7,000-9,000
An invoice showing the total amount due, including buyer’s premium, taxes, postage charges and other fees will be sent to buyers directly by Spink.
