    Edward the Confessor mint and moneyer?

    Martin Allen has now recorded the coin and all is explained! https://emc.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/full-record/20240117?&0=10540980&1=10540981&2=10540982&3=10540983&4=10540984&5=10540985&6=10540986&7=10540987&8=10540988&9=10540989&10=10540990&11=10540991&12=10540992&13=10540993&14=10540994&15=10540995&16=10540996&17=10540997&18=10540998&19=10540999&20=10541000&21=10541001&22=10541002&23=10541003&24=10541004&25=10541005&26=10541006&27=10541007&28=10541008&29=10541009&30=10541010&31=10541011&32=10541012&33=10541013&34=10541014&35=10541015&36=10541016&37=10663673&38=10663674&39=10663675&40=10663676&41=19870154&42=19880184&43=19930227&44=19940222&45=19950173&46=19950174&47=19970154&48=20000052&49=20010662&50=20060124&51=20070062&52=20100263&53=20120085&54=20130102&55=20130350&56=20150295&57=20170052&58=20180144&59=20180289&60=20200413&61=20210408&62=20220008&63=20230112&64=20240117 Jerry

    Exactly as Martin says. I should have been more concise in response. Apologies.

    Die fill to the E of Penny, yes, but different obv and rev combo (as Bernie says, this is a 5+E) to the E (or F) over B in BRIT pairs (4+G and 6+G respectively), and this one does not have that error. Suspect die fill (on any letter) is pretty common... What was being wondered is if there are more of the E over B 4+G and do they have the die fill?

    Freeman 274, obverse 5 Reverse E

    Reverse E. Similar die fill.
  8. If Michael doesn't have any remaining, I will take you up on this for sure. Thank you.
  9. If Michael has no copies available, I'm happy to let mine go. Purchased from Michael, as new, when first published. And unfortunately unused. ( My pockets aren't deep enough for pennies).

    Took a while to locate it. Reverse G. Die fill to the top of the E may be useful in finding another example.

    Just got in. Looking for it now.

    Really old, yet new

    Thanks for the comments and info you shared - I'm sure Ill have more questions as I continue to sort out and learn more....
  13. Thank you. If he does, I'll still need someone from over there to relay it to me, as Michael stopped shipping to US and Canada several years ago. If he has copies, i'd appreciate any volunteers to act as a middleman to reship to me. Thanks.

    Edward the Confessor mint and moneyer?

    He also was one of the Doormen at the 'Ye Pyg and Whystel', since it used to get a bit rough at chucking out time, after five flagons of mead.....

    Edward the Confessor mint and moneyer?

    AESTAN worked at Winchester and Warwick in the time of Edward the Confessor according to the EMC, but I can’t see either of those in the mint name. Jerry

    Edward the Confessor mint and moneyer?

    That may well help, and Lincoln was my first thought when I saw the photo, but there seems to be an extra letter(s) and Estan is not listed in North. I will see what I can find on the EMC website. Jerry

    Any updates yet, Bob ?

    Edward the Confessor mint and moneyer?

    Way out of my knowledge area in numismatics, but as a Classicist, it appears to read LINDI which is the genitive of LINDVM (Lindum) which was Lincoln. So, Estan on (=of) Lincoln ??? Or could it read LVNDI which is London ?? Hope that helps a bit! Probably not!
  19. This small flan penny of Edward the Confessor was found by a detecting cub member on a rally in the south of England, and I am trying to identify the mint and moneyer. The latter seems to read ESTAN or similar, and the mint clearly ends in DI but I cannot find the combination in North or Seaby and would welcome some help here! Thanks, Jerry
  20. I have emailed Michael to see whether he has any copies left.
  21. Hi I am very keen on obtaining Michael Gouby's combined book on pennies: * The British Bronze Penny 1860 - 1901 (book) joint 1st & 2nd edition combined book, (or the two parts). My preference is the version in binder, but I'm not in a position to be choosy, the bound version would be great. Gouby's original sales page for the book. http://www.michael-coins.co.uk/Vic Bronze 1d.htm I am located in USA, for what it's worth, regarding shipping and payment. I could pay via paypal, one of the easier transatlantic payment methods, or we could try to work out some other method. Alternately, if you know of a seller with a copy for sale, please private message me the details. I have looked at Galata, Douglas Saville, and other places, from time to time, but no luck. Thanks for the consideration, Jonathan
