Anglo-Saxon silver sceatta

This coin came in from the detectorist named Will, together with a request for a valuation.

The coin is an Anglo-Saxon silver sceatta. On the obverse are two figures, each of which holds a staff topped by a trefoil. On the reverse is a coiled creature looking backwards at its tail. All this adds up to this sceatta being an example of type 41b of series N, which is listed in the Standard Catalogue as number 806.

Valuation

This is quite a rare coin but its state of preservation leaves something to be desired. The obverse has been struck well off centre, the edge is slightly chipped and the surface on both sides isn’t good and this certainly reduces its eye appeal. In its present condition my price range would be £120-150.
