GREAT BRITAIN. Anglo-Saxon. Kings of All England. Penny, ND (978-79). London Mint; Leofweald, moneyer. Aethelred II. PCGS AU-53.
S-1143; N-764. First small cross (BMC i) type. Obverse: Diademed and draped bust left; Reverse: Small cross pattee. A fairly RARE and desirable type, this specimen offers soft gray surfaces with some very subtle hints of green and brilliance in the protected areas. Little in the way of actual handling is observed, with the flan itself exhibiting just a minor waviness to it. Nevertheless, an impressive and enticing survivor.
Estimate: $800.00- $1200.00
