Thought I would share this with you good people, found by me detecting late last year. According to Withers , a class 10 cf, very common , usually . But this one has three pellets before the initial cross making it very rare apparently. How rare is it, that’s what I want to know, anyone else got one?

I posted a similar one a few weeks ago with two pellets in the same place. I wasn't sure if it was an Ed1 or Ed2. Nobody responded.

Cheers. If you've any idea let us know. I suspect its a class 10 just can't tie it down precisely. The Edward Longcross series isn't my strongest area.

If anyone knows why the pellets are put there and for what reason I'd love to know. Seems odd why some have them and others don't and also back to Richards original question "Are they rare"

Although I can't shed any additional light on this topic, I too would be interested in hearing more about these pellets! :) There was certainly no relevant information in the Galata Guide to the Pennies of Edward I & II or in any of my other hammered books.

They are scarce rather than rare, I have about a dozen variants on the terminal stopping including single, double and triple stops ( The class 1c with double stops in the legend is however is very rare!)
