- GREAT BRITAIN. Anglo-Saxon. Kings of Wessex. Penny, ND (955-59). York Mint; Heriger, moneyer. Eadwig. PCGS AU-55. S-1122; N-724. Small cross/Horizontal-Trefoil 1 (BMC i) type. Obverse: + EADPIG REX (pelleted T), short cross pattee; Reverse: (HE)RIG / ER MO in two lines; trefoil of pellets above and below, three crosses between. Most attractively toned and well struck, this excellent survivor presents a charming overall appearance. Like Eadred before, Eadwig is a relatively obscure figure of the time. He gave away much land in charters, and his marriage was annulled against the will of him and his wife. Eadwig additionally feuded with an English bishop named Dunstan, which may have been related to the annulment of his marriage. Estimate: $1,500 - $3,000. Provenance: From the Paul C. Runze Collection. Ex: Spink 11 (10/1980) Lot # 17 (part of). To view all items from the Paul C. Runze Collection, click here. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
