thats the class i gave it 4a,   not sure the finds liaison officer got it right, the amount of stunning cut halfs i've found on this particular field is unreal, always thought when a whole one turned up it would be just as stunning, was a bit disappointed tbh, still a nice coin though and happy to add to my collection

The most recent book on the short cross coinage by Gerry Slevin marks 4b coins in Richards camp. My gut feeling when i saw it was the same , Richard immediately came to mind. I would personally mark it up as a Richard until someone can say otherwise with strong evidence. To me its a perfect example of a Richard coin , your very very lucky to find any Richards in good condition. Treasure it.

Same here. I've invested much money in numistimatic literature and books. The book i pictured and mentioned above is called shortcross legends its by Gerry Slevin. I got mine off amazon in 2015. Its still available there though its gone up slightly since i purchased my copy. 

I picked up the Churchill Thomas Brussels hoard book earlier in the year online for £30 pre owned. Its a good book though i haven't yet completed it fully. Its a definite must for anyone interested in Henry III Longcross coinage.

books are the best investing for a numismatist , I didn't know the Slevin's book... I personally think also that the Stewartby's work on english medieval coins is a great book.

I don't own the Stewertby book as yet. I'll buy it once i find it priced up at a decent figure. Maybe a second hand copy. Gerry Slevin has a book on the Dublin mint of Henry III. It covers the Irish Long cross coins under Henry. 

Getting back to your coin , i can see why the flo attributed it as 4b. The X in Rex does look blocky like the 4b ones also the S is blunded. My 4a X is quite thin and wirey.

I've not heard anyone put 4b coins in Johns corner before. I think he's probably made a mistake and got slighty confused.

Guest Unidentifiable

Can anyone please help me identify this coin? I'm unsure of date and mint. I'm no expert on coins but have recently started a collection and still building up my knowledge.

Hard to tell from images, but looks like an Edward IV penny. Are you able to upload better quality photos?
