Help With Hammered

Recommended Posts

I don't have too many hammered coins, but for those I have, I've been going through them checking with the Galata Guide for attribution of the Ed I and II pennies. Mostly, so far its been fairly straightforward, but the attached one has me stumped. Its in rubbish condition (is that a new grade?) but the legends don't seem to make much sense to me. So can anyone help? All I can determine is that the reverse legend starts with DURE (for Durham I assume) and on the obverse the crown is bifoliate. The obverse legend seems to be EDW.......ANOHI...., with the A having an annulet to the left hand side.

You can't find on the Galata Guide because It is Ed III. Sorry but at the moment I can't give you a  more detailed id.

I'm not questioning what you said, but from this really poor example, how can you tell so easily?

Definitely Ed III but I too am away at the mother-in-laws, and don't know the series well enough to comment further without my books, except to agree that it's Durham. :)

Dave, Many thanks for this. How do you get there so quick - these pennies all look the same to me!
