Congrats on the find of a lifetime Folkert! It is in beautiful condition. What is the size of it, the Sceats I have seen are very small. I have heard many say this is one of the most sought after coins in Europe and the UK, the UK being under German/Saxony rule at the time. HH, Mike

That's awesome! In the U.S. anything we find that's over 100 years old is considered ancient! I can't imagine finding anythign dating back that far. Thanks for sharing! |
