From the William J. Conte Collection.
The bust style and lettering conventions clearly support the Lincoln mint attribution. The second letter of the moneyer's name may be open to a different reading, but the name itself is not obviously blundered, and no variant of U_erleth appears among the lists of Anglo-Saxon moneyers.
