Penny of King Cnut

The images of this Anglo-Saxon penny were sent tin by Roger Paul but it was found (last week) by a detecting colleague: Bob Piercy.

This is an example of the pointed helmet type of King Cnut. On the reverse the legend reads +LEOFPOLD ON LVN, so Leofwold is the moneyer and London the mint.

On the obverse the legend is weak but this side is otherwise Fine; the reverse is clearer and would grade Fine. However, there are four small edge chips of various sizes and these would have an impact on its value.

Valuation

In its present ‘as found’ condition my price range would be £90-120.  Its commercial value might not be very high but an Anglo-Saxon penny of any description counts as really great detecting find.
