I wonder if the moneyer is Gildepine (Gildewine)  who North lists at Leicester. I can’t see that in the mint name though. The reverse seems to read 

‘GILDEPINE ON ‘ and then a letter or two  that may be a gross abbreviation due to lack of space.  I will try the EMC database.

Thankyou, really appreciate the identification! i've been collecting for 20 years but i'm still relatively inexperienced with Anglo Saxon!

Could anyone help me figure out the mint/moneyer on this facing bust/short cross penny?

I have been looking in North but can't find a match!

Clashed dies. The Striking surfaces have come together without the planchet (Bronze blank) in place, the raised portions have been struck onto the opposing die and resulted in the features described.

The line between the lighthouse and Britt's  hand is Vicks cleavage line, a faint outline can be seen of Vicks face just above.

The other lines described are the folds in drapery

Fantastic : ) thankyou very much!

[Unusual 1873 Penny]

I have this 1873 penny in my collection. It has some unusual elements:

• Raised marks/lines either side of Victoria's neck on the obverse
• a raised line between the shield and lighthouse on the reverse

 

Does anyone know what may cause these markings? I suspect it is possibly double struck or made from old dies but I am by no means certain. 

 

Would appreciate any input or opinions

 

Thanks in advance

[Shortcross penny identification]

Hello ☺️

 

Can anyone help me identify these two shortcross pennies? i'm getting better at identification of the shortcross pennies but I can quite narrow these two down to a particular class/sub-class.

 

Thanks
