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! :)

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?

Hi Coinery, here is a photo of the reverse:

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

Hi Coinery, yeah, I'm really happy with my 1d - so I got what I wanted! :)  Yes, I saw that lovely Bristol penny too. 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!).

notice that coin has some red/blue toning, where would these coins have come from, obviously not the groud for that one, amazing how they travel down the years
