This note has two primary purposes. The first is to draw the attention of the numismatic community to John Sheehan’s reassignment of the Eadgar hoard’s find spot from Co. Kilkenny to Co. Westmeath. The second is to provide an updated listing of the coins of Eadgar and of other tenth-century Anglo-Saxon rulers offered in the 1855 Stretton sale.
