Hello 'H', Thanks for your response. I'm gradually getting better at doing ID's although its always nice to get an expert confirmation or otherwise! Agree with worn examples. It always seems to be the really diagnostic bits that are missing ☺️. I'm using Withers halfpence and farthings books at present, which I find very good. James

Apologies, but pictures didn't upload in the right order - I'll do one coin at a time in future! From top down they are in fact; Coin 2 Reverse, Coin 1 Obverse, Coin 2 Obverse, Coin 1 Reverse. Many thanks James

Good evening, I would greatly appreciate if anyone can confirm my initial identifications for the attached coins. I've got Coin 1 down as a class 10-11 Halfpenny of Edward II; North 1069/2? I believe the obverse legend reads EDWARDVS REX AN although I'm not sure if there is an additional G or not? The N's in LONDON also appear to be Roman with a single bar. Weight 0.5g, Diameter 14.3mm I think Coin 2 is an Edward III example, probably North 1131, with EDWARDVS REX legend and Lombardic n's in LOnDOn. Not sure about the initial mark though?? Also on coin 2 there appears to be an impression of the reverse long cross on the obverse. Is this a brockage or just an overzealous striking og the reverse ??? It's definitely real and not an optical effect in the image; they line up exactly. Coin 2: Weight 0.5g, Diameter 15mm Appreciate anything anyone can add. Best regards, James P.S. Whilst I don't want to sell anything at moment, I was curious about the value of my coins. Does anyone know of a good online valuation service that can be used without actually wanting to sell??? Again, any help much appreciated.

Glad mine was of use! James

Wow, that's a good one!! Very many thanks Coinery. I'm going to record it on the PAS database. How would you like me to acknowledge you for the ID? Best regards James

Any help with this one greatly appreciated. I'm guessing Edward I or II on account of Canterbury mint being more common for these two? I can read EDW [R ANGL] DNS HYB, but not sure what the full legend should be? Reverse is nice; obverse not so good - can't make out enough crown or letter detail unfortunately, to help. Weight: 0.9g Best regards, James

Hi Rob, Many thanks indeed. This was the other potential fit that came up when I was searching. You did well to make anything of the legends, although once one knows what to look for it does become a bit clearer - I believe I can make out the DVB now! I can follow up with some more research now. Thanks again, James

Hi, I was hoping that someone would be able to confirm my tentative ID of the attached coin. It's been fairly heavily clipped and weighs 0.6g. Max diameter is 14.4mm. Although I can't read any of the legends, I believe it might be a penny of Richard II, Canterbury mint using locally produced dies?? There are two clear pellets by the king's shoulders, and nothing else as far as I can see on his breast, which is not as distinct here as other varieties I've seen. On the reverse the long cross appears to continue through the quatrefoil lobes at its centre. North lists six groups for these with different legends (Vol.II, 1330), but I don't know what a 'group' is or what it means in terms of the coin's overall design? Any help would be much appreciated. Best regards, James
