| Lot description: English Hammered Coins from Various Properties Kings of East Anglia, Edmund (855-69), Penny, Ipswich?, Beornferth, eadmvnd rx an, cross of three crosses [depicting the crucifix at Calvary], rev. beornferd mo, cross pattée with pellets in angles, 1.23g/12h (Naismith E56.1k, this coin; SCBI Mack 678, this coin; Pagan East Anglian, p.73, VII.2, this coin; N 459; S 955). Some peripheral weakness, otherwise very fine, excellent metal for issue and with an illustrious provenance £2,000-£2,600 --- Provenance: R. Marsham Collection, Sotheby Auction, 19 November 1888, lot 91; W. Talbot Ready Collection, Sotheby Auction, 15 November 1920, lot 44; V.J.E. Ryan Collection, Part II, Glendining Auction, 22-24 January 1952, lot 658; R.P. Mack Collection, Part 1, Glendining Auction, 18 November 1975, lot 99; SNC September 1986 (678) The provenance of this coin was mis-recorded in the Mack Sylloge; this coin is Ryan 658, but not Ready 42 as given there (the latter coin, imaged in the plates, is quite distinct) - the correct provenance was given in the Glendining sale of 1975. In his corpus, Naismith (2011) correctly records E56.1h as Ready 42, but erroneously follows the Mack Sylloge for E56.k [this coin] recording it as Ready 42 also; Ready 44 is noted by Naismith as an 'untraced' example. |  |
