Æþeling's Edward the Elder 899-924 Anglo-Saxon penny






OR


Æþeling's Cnut 1016-1035 Anglo-Danish penny?

I voted for the Canute but there is a sentimental reason! I used to have one but sold it along with the rest of my collection in 1978, to purchase my first computer!

I go Edward the Elder. That Canute to me looks too cleaned and just not as nice.

Cnut.

Canute

Ed the Old for me. It just has more "character".

Æþeling's Cnut 1016-1035 Anglo-Danish penny - like it plus I am just following Art through this voting thing!

the Edward.

Canute wins by 1.

As a non hammered collector - Pass!

Hammered coins are about all i collect these days.

I was making a play on Geordie's post in teh decimal competition.

I know!


It has to be said Stu decimal doesn't get much interest from British collectors, except perhaps for me. Which makes me a rather unusual case in question as i collect out of the mainstream. I collect hammered and Decimal, everyone else seems to focus on the 1662-1967 periods. So me being Harry opposite means i focus on everything but what's fashionable to collect. But i'm awkward as you should know by now...
