Possible Edward I or II Coin

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anybody might be able to help me. I have a Edward Plantagenet coin but I am finding it very difficult with my limited knowledge to decide which class (or indeed which king) it is. It is a London mint.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edward I class 10,

haha I reckon if I  quoted Edward I class 10 f i'd be right in 99% of id's lol

 

why does the class 10 seem to be the most common ? 

 

 i'm sure I read in the great re coinage of Edward I something like 130,000,000 pennies were struck ?

You’d be right nearly 50% of the time at least ;)

You should’ve stuck your neck out and had a go :D

In this example, with the legend, incurved letters, and bifoliate crown (that’s not one of the easily identifiable Ed II crowns), it’s a no-brainer for Class 10. 

With Class 10, for me at least, I need to then sit down with a bit of paper and wade my way through the resources to determine and feel happy with the sub-class...it’s a pig to get right otherwise, for me at least.

The rest of the series is easy blinkin’ peasy! 😛

You're just a pro Stu. The class 10s baffle the heck out of me... even with the Galata Guide and Dave's Grunal page I still can't get a handle on them 😕

Dave's Grunal page

Ha ha, not in the least, just too much time on my hands, that’s all! :D 

Is Dave’s page the FB one, I’ve not seen it?

I can’t see any specific pages for the Edwards on his website, though, and the FB link is broken. But I’m modern, I’ll track it down :D

Found it! :)

Great resource for images, but you’d need to know your coins first before it could be really useful. It would be a massive undertaking now that they’re up, but having the class and sub-class on the images would be useful.

Edit: Ah, got it...click on the image and you get a nice big write up. Well done, Dave, must have taken ages :)
