[2081] Great Britain. Eadred (946-55) silver Two-Line P
<Our item number 77607><B><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Great Britain.</FONT> Eadred &#40;946-55&#41; silver Two-Line Penny.</B> S-1113. N-706. Small cross pattee with blundered quatrefoil in field. Moneyer Wynhelm. An historic coin issued by the brother of King Eadmund, whose reign was troubled by invasions by fierce Vikings such as Anlaf Guthfrithsson. To Eadred fell the task of battling Eric Bloodaxe, whom he defeated in 954, only to fall ill and die the following year. His will left a large sum to pay off invaders should they return, but ironically a period of peace followed his death, when the kingdom was &#34;ruled&#34; by Eadmund&#39;s teenage son, Eadwig. The style of this coin copied several predecessors, all of which owed homage to the two-line penny of Aelfred the Great, which itself simply altered a classic Anglo-Saxon design. This is an attractive example, a nice &#34;English EF,&#34; medium gray with not much wear and a large, unclipped, uncracked flan. Some brown encrustation may be found around the v arious devices, suggesting a river-find origin. <B>NGC graded AU-55.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;1,000-1,250. <I><BR>The Cheshire Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 77607<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077607.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077607N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:brian@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
