Sceattas. The Alternative Database. In Print is a comprehensive hardback reference book by N. M. Carter, published in 2026. It is an invaluable resource for collectors, detectorists, historians and numismatists with an interest in early Anglo-Saxon silver sceattas.
Featuring more than 1,500 high-resolution photographs, the book showcases a wide range of coins sourced from private collections, specialist dealers and auction archives. Particular emphasis is placed on rare varieties and examples not commonly illustrated in the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) or Early Medieval Coin (EMC) databases.
The clear, concise layout makes identification easier by focusing on the distinctive features and subtle variations that separate different sceatta types. Rather than replacing existing references, this volume complements them by providing an extensive alternative photographic database.
