About this seller
Notes:Oct 1, 08 - Find YORYM-31FCD6 from the Portable Antiquities Scheme. This is one of 9 coins from a small hoard found by Brian Hawe with a metal detector before November 2007 in Everingham Parrish, East Riding of Yorkshire County, UK.

The coin has only been cleaned enough to allow complete attribution. Further cleaning will significantly enhane its appearance. In hand, it is clear that a good portion of the original silvering still remains intact.
