Eadgar (959-975), Silver Penny, Pre-Reform portrait type (959-c.972), moneyer Sadutinc. Crowned and draped bust right extending to bottom of coin, legend and linear inner circle surrounding, toothed border around rim both sides, legend commences at left, + EADGAR REX, rev. small cross pattée, legend and linear inner circle surrounding, +SAVDTINC+ MONVNI, weight 1.38g (B.M.C. type V; N.750; S.1138). Very attractively toned, some old toned short hairline scratches on middle of reverse, otherwise with a superb portrait, almost extremely fine, one of the more unusual moneyer names, very rare. Value $5,000 - UP
The moneyer Sadutinc as given in North is depicted on this coin as "Saudtinc", and the reading continues with an unusual lengthy moneyer reading as "Monvni" and with an extra cross after the moneyers name. We note in North that an uncertain mint reading possibly for Huntingdon is rendered as "VN" on the coins, perhaps this coin could be a possibility as this mint reading. North lists the moneyer for "VN"as Dudinc which is not dissimilar to Saudtinc.
In the Pre-Reform portrait coinage of King Eadgar North lists some 22 moneyers including Sadutinc who did not give a mint signature, whereas he lists 25 moneyers who are connected with a mint including Dudinc mentioned above.
The obverse Latin legend translates as "Eadgar King" and the reverse as "Saudtinc Moneyer.".
Found Costessey Norfolk, 2000. Ex Spink Numismatic Circular, December 2000, HS0010, illustrated on front cover (also appeared in an article published in Minerva Magazine around this time).
