YORKSHIRE NUMISMATIST ADDED TO NEWMAN PORTALThe latest addition to the Newman Numismatic Portal is the Yorkshire Numismatist. Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. Thanks. -Editor
Volume 4 (2012), for example, contains an article by Adrian Marsden that discusses a hoard of 65 Anglo-Saxon sceattas unearthed by a metal detectorist in 2010. Tony Abramson, president of the
Yorskhire Numismatic Society, provides background on the sceatttas: “They were silver early-pennies of 10-11mm in diameter, weighing c. 1.10g in the primary phase (660s-c. 710) and c. 1.00g in the secondary phase (c. 710 to 750s in the south of England, the Low Countries and France, and into the 9th century in north England and Ribe). Those of the north of England are inscribed with the names of issuers and moneyers. Southern issues are typically uninscribed.” Marsden’s article catalogs and analyzes the varieties found and provides additional historical background. The Newman Portal is grateful to Tony Abramson for facilitating this contribution.  Image: Sceattas from the Aldborough (Norfolk) hoard.
