Full Description
Anglo Saxon Sceat found to the End of Hod Hill:
d) ST 8629 1048. Silver sceat, BMC type 23a, Rigold series K. No 445 in the same sale.
Note: the reference to ‘the same sale’ is a reference to MDO3929, which was No 443 in Sotheby's sale of 21/07/81.
Note: The NRHE-to-HER website listed four Sceattas under the UID 888107. These were listed as A, B, C & D. On closer inspection there appears to have been 2 coins listed as D (now subcategorised as D1 and D2. Coins A, C and D2 were fairly easy to identify against their equivalent entry on the HBSMR database. However, B and D1 were far less certain due to the lack of detail. Therefore, although B has been recorded as equivalent to MDO3935 and D1 has been recorded as equivalent to MDO3933 it is possible that this equivalency for these 2 coins may need to be reversed.
