EARLY NORTHUMBRIAN COINS AT AUCTION, 1981 51
Dr. Hope-Taylor 1 s excavations at Bamburgh. Although it is a truism that
individual finds can be attributed after detailed study of coins in quantity
from major hoards, it is perhaps equally true to say that examination of
coins on their own (unencumbered by a bewildering number of others) can
bring realization of alternative attributions. I feel sure that there is
evidence awaiting publication elsewhere which will endorse the view that
there was contemporary imitation (with varying degrees of abnormality)
throughout every reign represented by the styca series.
