Descartes Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Hello forum members, I bought this little Edward I penny recently on flea-bay. Wanted to ask the class/type. It looks like a class 1d due to the large lettering, but looking through my Galata Guide to the infinitely confusing pennies of Edward I and Edward II, it looks like it could be one of the class 2 types too. I'm looking for some expert advice please. Thanks guys! Descartes. 1 Quote

Coinery Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 And I rest my case re the class 1 coins of Edward (as talked about in the Baldwin thread). Nice penny, have you got the reverse handy? Quote

Coinery Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Didn't stay on eBay for very long! ? I was reading my old thread on my own Edward Class 1d - you got what you were after, then? Did you see that superb high-class Bristol penny back a bit? Beautiful! I bid about £125 I think it was...did you win that? My example 1d 1 Quote

Didn't win i though. There is a superb Edward I 2b 'brizzles' for sale at the moment at Hammered British Coins: http://www.hammeredbritishcoins.com/plantagenet/925-edward-i-silver-penny-2b-bristol.html (but it's quite expensive!).

Coinery Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 The same penny but, just wow! Twice as much? Goodness, it's nice, but not that rare and nice! 332374030945 Quote
