This second edition of Sceatta List
adds more than a hundred new varieties of early pennies. It builds on the work
of pioneers in the field – Rigold, Metcalf, Blackburn and Gannon. While this
topic, with its huge variation in designs, has more than its fair share of
difficulties, the author has always sought to make the subject more accessible
to occasional users. This is achieved through the generous use of
illustrations, the majority taken from his own collection housed at the
Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. Moreover, the author provides insight to the
organisation, dating and designs of this seventh- to eighth-century medium of
exchange where the medium is the message, though often obscured by the passage
of time.
The volume is essentially for – and essential to – collectors, curators,
cataloguers, detectorists and dealers, among others, and includes guidance on
scarcity and values.
Tony Abramson has lectured and published widely on early Anglo-Saxon coinage, has been President of the Yorkshire Numismatic Society since 2011 and organises biennial symposia in early medieval coinage. These services were recognised by the award of the British Numismatic Society’s Jeffrey North Medal in 2017.
