Talk:Maine penny

message: Naskeag gives me a whole trove of new content with google about this site. In
particular I found this article which is somewhat skeptical about this coin. It claims it was accepted without much criticism in somewhat dubious circumstances:

I've made the article a bit less definite about some matters to account for this. Martijn faassen 06:18, 19 May 2004 (UTC)

message: There is not a single external link here, nothing to identify which archaeologists have worked the "Goddard site" or where the "Maine penny' is now etc.   Some context would be more interesting. --Wetman 03:08, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Circumstances of the discovery and external links

message: I'm trying to find some material outside of wikipedia that can be cited to back up that the Maine Penny is the only Norse artifact in the United States that is generally regarded as genuine by experts. Does anyone have some references for me? Of course if other artifacts also have this status that would be good to find out too. There are of course other artifacts like the Kensington Runestone, but it's debated whether they're genuine. (such debate in fact exists for the Maine Penny too, but it appears to have a special status nonetheless) Martijn Faassen 19:47, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Article needs a picture. A diagram showing the original design would also be helpful. Do other coins of the same pattern exist in good condition? Drutt (talk) 04:58, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Picture

message: The article talks a lot about the dating of the coin, but what about the settlement where it was found, how old is that? Naturally, I'm sure the actual investigators have considered this, but if that settlement doesn't date to the viking times, the coin could have been brought along by a later settler from Europe and could have ended there without it really being a hoax as such. So I would suggest some info would be added about what is known about the settlement.85.157.155.247 (talk) 15:55, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The Maine Penny, also known as the Goddard Coin, was minted between 1065 and 1080 AD. The Goddard site was occupied from 1180 to 1235 AD. So the coin was minted at least 100 years before anyone is thought to be living at the Goddard site. Jerry Stockton (talk) 23:06, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

message: This entry should be updated in the light of the discussion of the Maine Penny in Gordon Campbell's Norse America: the Story of a Founding Myth (Oxford University Press, 2021), pp. 167-72. Unlike far too much of what has been written about the Northmen in North America this is a sober, non-partisan and scholarly book.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Henryfunk (talk • contribs) 21:27, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

message: It is a bit suspicious that the guy (no pun intended) who discovered it has the surname Mellgren, isn't it? Which is a surname of Scandinavian origin. Reminds me of the Kensington Runestone. Has this been remarked upon? 84.211.57.47 (talk) 04:52, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
