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.
