Paul, you  lucky, lucky man. What a fantastic find and in very find condition. 
Does that make your's No.5. 

Val

Thanks Val, I'm not sure what you mean no 5

[celticspikey]

Thanks for your comments, it amazes me when a coin of this quality/ condition comes up from a heavily flinty field , this field was only ploughed last year so I guess it has recently been brought up from the depths my thanks must go to the tractor driver for doing that

Hi Paul.   Geoffs' link to the Auction site mentions that the coin pictured is only the 4th one known and each of them was struck with a different dye.  Very Rare.

So I reckon that makes yours No.5.         It only mentions the starting bid, would love to know how much it fetched at the end of bidding.   Looks like Geoff was right,  'That's the holiday paid for'.    

Val

p.s.  Just reading the lineage, makes it all the more fantastic.  He was the Grand Father of Alfred the Great. WOW what a find.

No Val that applies to the moneyer Bosa, Pauls is from Winchester by the moneyer Wihtnoth and is only the 4th known Paul I would telephone Spinks if anyone.

Thanks for that Geoff, I rang timeline there coin had an estimate of £3000-£4000 and a reserve of £2800 which was not met. It looks like mine is in better condition I think.  I have e/ mailed pictures to them just to see what they say. Thanks Val for your comments

[Chef Geoff]

Yes yours is in far better nick than either of those, for me it's interesting that Spink question whether they were actually minted at Winchester and given that the other two with known provenance were found in Warminster and nr Salisbury now yours being found not a million miles away may point to a closer mint
