GREAT BRITAIN. Anglo-Saxon. Danish Northumbria. Penny, ND (ca. 900-05). York Mint. Cnut. PCGS MS-62. S-990; N-499. Class IId/Cunneti type. Obverse: Inverted patriarchal, with four pellets around; Reverse: Short cross pattee, with two pellets around. Incredible quality for the type, this elegantly toned specimen presents a fairly bold strike with darker gray hues on the higher points and a lighter gray color in the fields. Undoubtedly, one of the more robust examples that one is likely to encounter.
