Dresser, Stack's, 4 May 1995, lot 2173
Lord Grantley, part 3, Glendining, 22-23 March 1944, lot 896 (illustrated), purchased by Seaby for £15 - with Seaby ticket
Montagu, part 1, Sotheby, 18-23 November 1895, lot 312
Marsham, Sotheby, 19 November 1888, lot 120
EMC 1030.0216
This issue belongs to the period between the rejection by Kent of the Mercian Ceolwulf I and the installation of Baldred as king. Ceolwulf I was crowned by Archbishop Wulfred probably in late 822 and Baldred seems to have become king by 824, suggesting this anonymous regal issue belongs to a very short period of about a year in 822/23.
Subject to 5% tax on Hammer Price in addition to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium. For more information please view Terms and Conditions for Buyers.

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
