I'm not sure but think its Henry III short cross Nichole on Lund.

Now I'm not sure how to class coins. but I think it's class 7b as this looks like coin number 1356B in Coins of  England, but what is confusing for the class 7b it says ..Letter A with square top, M appears as H, now in the legend there is no A or M. how does this work ?

thanks for any help.

It is indeed a Henry III Nichole at London mint. In my book it has Nicolas de sancto albano(Nichole) starting off at class 7c so it can't be a 7b. If i could see the X in rex more clearly i could say with 100% certainty what class it is. Nichole worked 7c- 8c right up to the end of the short cross series in 1247. He was reported to have died in 1253 Ad. 

"This is only a guess but I'd go with 7c1 , 7c2 or 7c3" so you could probably mark it as 7c. 

Hope this helps. ?

After much examination & scrutinizing i think its a 7c3. The N and D kind of looks litigated and this is only seen with this Moneyer in class 7c3 and 8b also they are the only two classes that end with a D in London but if it were an 8b coin it would start with a cross pommee before the N in Nichole so i feel its highly likely a 7c3.

You actually did good for just a spink price guide which i assume you were using. The 3 is just a sub class. There's subtle differences in coins in between the classes so they get a sub class. 

I used a combination of books. Jp masses collection of short cross coins and Gerry slevins short cross legends.  The last one probably being the more up-to-date of the two and more affordable if you were looking for a good guide.

Your welcome. Shortcross legends is on Amazon. Priced £35- 40 i think. Its constantly being updated with new editions so well worth buying.
