Here at Silbury Coins we see ourselves as specialists in Anglo Saxon coinage. We have over 20 years’ experience handling silver pennies and Sceatta’s, we offer extensive background research into the Anglo-Saxon period and a diverse and constantly changing selection of coins for sale.
Our current stock represents coins from all of the kingdoms of the middle Saxon period and no less than 28 Late Anglo-Saxon mints! From rarities like Malmesbury and Ilchester to the Tower mint in London, we have something for all budgets and we enjoy handling these coins, sharing the special link to Anglo Saxon England 1000 years ago.

Silbury Coins are at the @rodneycookmemorial Rally near Bradford Upon Avon this weekend.
We are very proud to be supporting this event and love getting out in the fields with the Metal Detecting Community, being on hand to identify finds as they are unearthed.
Gary, Lisa and the team at RCM do a fantastic job organising this event and we enjoy attending every year.
This year we’ve donated a George III Guinea to the charity auction and will be bidding in other lots in support of their charities.
