- GREAT BRITAIN. Anglo-Saxon. Kings of Wessex. Penny, ND (ca. 828-39). Canterbury Mint; Diormod, moneyer. Ecgberht. PCGS Genuine--Bent, AU Details. S-1035; N-573. Portrait type. Obverse: + ECGBEΛR-HT REX, draped bust right, breaking inner circle; Reverse: + DIORMOD M(NE)T, monogram: DOROB C. Some minor flan waviness as noted is observed, but fairly typical for this difficult and RARE type, offering a deep gray tone and very clear overall details. Forced into exile by Beorhtric and Offa, in 802 Ecgberht returned from mainland Europe to Britain. Not much legacy survives from Ecgberht’s somewhat long reign, but it is probable he was at least able to maintain some independence from other Anglo-Saxon competitors. Estimate: $7,000 - $10,000.
