Short Cross Penny Identification (MIs-Strike)

Recommended Posts

I have this short cross penny which is in reasonable condition, but seems to have been hammered twice? It's really noticeable on the reverse, though the observe seems better. Anyway, I've been trying to decipher moneyer and mint for quite some time now and have not come to a solid conclusion. My best guess is it's Richard I? but I am really unsure. It seems to read SIHV on the top right of the reverse, but I can't attribute it to anything with the resources I have, though the closest could be the moneyer Simund. It also looks like it could say CANT at the bottom for Canterbury. This is as far as my current ability allows me to get, but I'm sure you guys will solve this in a breeze haha. I also have higher quality pictures if anyone wants a better look.

Anyway, thanks is much for taking a look, and any feedback or help would be greatly appreciated! 

Cheers! :D

Not the easiest with the double striking, but I would go for class VIIb, SIMVN ON CANT. Possibly a die duplicate of Mass 2008.
