In c.780 the penny was introduced into England, and with few exceptions it was the only denomination produced during this period. There are a seemingly endless number of designs and varients, and as such it would be almost impossible to put together a comprehensive collection in good grade. Many of the coins are struck on very thin and consequently quite fragile flans, and some from silver of poorer quality. Modern metal detecting has enabled more of these coins to come to light, but many are still extremely rare, especially so if they can be found in good condition. The period ends in 973 when the coinage was reformed under Eadgar.
