  2. I bought a couple of lots of Bun head pennies at auction last week because I thought I spotted varieties that I did not previously have. I have done my best to ID them using @secret santa's excellent site, but I am never confident with variety identification. Could anyone please confirm or correct me? First I think is 1874H Dies 6+G, Freeman 66. (Not scarce, but weirdly a variety I did not have>)

  7. CIVITAS also means city in this context. You may even find some Edward pennies that state VILLA, or town. I believe Bristol would be one such example. Pre-Edward I coins normally state the moneyer and the town/city. So if you have any Long Cross or Short Cross pennies, they state things like: WILLELM ON LUND (William of London), RICARD ON WINC (Richard of Winchester), ROGER ON NICOLE (Roger of Lincoln) etc. You can find whole lists of moneyers that are currently known about - coin books/internet sites etc.
