Talk:Sceat

Value

Is there any idea of the Value of a sceat, in comparison to coins close to its existence? for example the Denarius (Roman coin)? Ian Splinter (talk) 14:12, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Depends on the weight and purity, both of which varied. Also, the denarius may have still circulated but was hardly "close". — LlywelynII 15:29, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

The article mentions "a breathtaking variety of designs". Is there any reference to confirm that the variety of the design can take someone's breath? How many different designs are required before you can call that variety "breathtaking"? Johan Lont 15:00, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Not that editor but they're not wrong either. Go to Wikicommons & see for yourself, especially compared to the coinage before and after. — LlywelynII 03:18, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
