This brief note details some dangerous forgeries of Anglo-Saxon and Norman pence, all offered for sale via eBay during 2019 and 2020. These pieces are of particular concern as many are artificially distressed, a feature which makes them more convincing to those unfamiliar with them.
I purchased a convincing looking Aetheberht from an Ebayer from Chippenham on receipt of it something seemed not quit right (the weight for example) , which couldn’t be detected from th Ebay image . After going through the disputes centre I managed to get a refund, but he promptly put on ebay and resold it. I can send image if interested
