There are another 10 coins in the SCBI where they are attributed to Stafford and which also appear to be die duplicates – MEC 8, 2324 (mint signature incorrectly given as STÆ), SCBI 18, 1182 (Copenhagen - mint signature not provided, it was obtained from an auction in 1901), SCBI 20, 1328 (STIE and believed to be from Oulton), and SCBI 42, 1662-1668 (all incorrectly STÆ and from 19th and early 20th Century collections), nos. 1664 and 1667 have the same blurred obverse strike). SCBI 30, 655 is the only example to be from different dies. It seems likely that most of these coins again derive from the Oulton hoard." , , The original report of the Oulton find in the Staffordshire Advertiser (7 March 1795): "Extract of a letter from Stone, March 3rd. 'As the gardener of Mr. Shelley of Oulton, near this place, was digging in his Master's orchard, he found a gold ring, and upwards of a thousand small pieces of silver coin, most of which were perfect; and on examination proved to be the coin of St. Edward the Confessor, one of our Saxon kings, who reigned upwards of 700 years ago. It could not be discovered in what they had been kept, as the covering, whatever it might have been, had mouldered into dust." Estimate: £400 - £600 |  |
