Scope and content

Two letters from Stewart Lyon:
(a) in manuscript, dated 21 November 1971, mainly in reply to a reference of IS to his missing styca of Eanbald [II?], archbishop of York (fl. 796-803). There is also a PS about a [new] detector-find of a hoard of more than 160 Anglo-Saxon sceattas, with SL asking IS whether he knows anything about it.
(b) in manuscript, dated 3 December 1971, in which SL congratulates IS for receiving the Sanford Saltus Medal of the British Numismatic Society. There is further discussion of IS's missing coin of Eanbald and the hoard of some 160 sceattas reported in Coin Monthly.
