Hi,

Does anyone have a complete list?

And the next page. It doesn't break them down into issues that individuals struck. There may be one that has turned up since 1992.

Looking at the list, Goda is shown, but is probably the same person as God and Oda. Depending on the consistency of spelling and literacy levels of inner city London in the 10th-11th century, there may be more duplication. I haven't looked too hard, but the above stood out.

Rob,

Thanks.

Just bought a Long Cross type penny. Could clearly make out most of the letters ending in FSTAN MO LVND. Now realise the Moneyer from your list was Wulfstan.

The seller hadn't provided that detail.

Incidentally I know mints can play an important part in valuing coins of the same type, how important are moneyers in this regard?

Less so than mints. Moneyers are one level up in specialisation. If you think in terms of one of..... each reign, then each type, then each mint, then each moneyer, then each die. By the time you have reached the last level, you should be reassuringly on top of your subject (and probably living in splendid isolation)

Mm, interesting never the less. Thanks again for your input.

Kind regards

You often find that there is a rare moneyer for a common mint, or a common moneyer at that mint who is rare for a particular issue. That requires a lot of reading and data collection.

Single moneyer mints are invariably at least scarce. Roughly 50 % of the Saxon coinage comes from the 5 main mints of London, York, Canterbury, Lincoln and Winchester.

Hi Peter,

Sounds good.
