Missing letter on Edward III Groat

Recommended Posts

I bought this Edward III series C pre treaty groat (minted in London) however noticed that the “A” is missing from “EDWARD” making it just “EDWRD”. I have done research but can find no other Edward III groat with this inscription. Please help,

many thanks

Hi firstly its not pre treaty C, wrong initial mark and letter R, The initial mark puts it as PTS E or G 

PTSE is known from several dies without letter A in EDWARD, L.A.Lawrence (Numismatic Chronicle 1929 p106 - 163, 1932 p 96- 174) lists 7 different dies but none correspond to the die used for your coin, More interestingly is the complete horllx of the legend from ANGL Z onwards it appears to read FRALIIB???? This legend is not given in LAL. 

It would be usefull to see the reverse of the coin to determine if PTS E or PTSG

Ah right definitely Pre treaty series E so obverse legend falls into the group without A in EDWARD

Hi Dave, I’ve no idea how to post properly or even if this is the correct forum for it!! ..& realise this is not at all related to this topic!  However, I wondered if you or anyone would know how/where I might locate a Dolphin Coins catalogue, from Spring 1993, please? Apologies if this isn’t the right place but thought it worth a try! Many thanks, Alice

I've got a copy too, just no spare. Dolphin catalogues are bought as soon as you list them.
