Descartes Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Hi, This Edward III coin is listed as minted in London which it obviously is'nt as the legend on the reverse starts with 'VILL...' Could Somebody tell me where it was minted as it's hard to make sense of the other letters, and it doesn't seem to match any of the mints I have listed for Edward III pennies. Thanks! Descartes Quote

Coinery Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Didn't get a chance to look, and I'm out for the weekend (50 today), arghh! there's a chance the pics are mixed up?? Quote
Coinery Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Just looked on eBay! They've got the wrong reverse image, it's probably a London as per the description. 1 Quote

Coinery Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 Why thank-you, Sir! And please do call me Stuart, Stu, Stewpot, anything you like, really! ? 1 Quote
Coinery Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) I wonder who snaffled it? A perfectly acceptable Class 1 Henry III went as well 332374030300 . I would've liked the H3 myself. ? Edited September 24, 2017 by Coinery Quote

It appears that somebody bought quite a few Henry III pennies all at once from 'Hammered British Coins', as a whole bunch of Henry III are showing up in his recently sold tab on the website. PS - hope you had a good evening and aren't suffering too much today! 1 Quote

Cheers, Mick! Yes, a massive milestone, really struggling to get my head around it! I'm reliably informed that 50, 60, and 70 are the new 30 and 40! I felt nothing about being 30 OR 40, but 50 is tough! Pressies? Joined the sailing club in Frampton, a few beers, and a bite to eat with the family...game of cards to finish (30p up), a perfect birthday! ? 1 Quote

Would love to see the ACTUAL reverse when you get it! ? Quote

I suspected the original reverse image was incorrect on ebay, that's why I asked you fantastic people on the forum before I bought it. I also managed to put in a lower offer price which was accepted too Quote
Coinery Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Brilliant! You don't see too many in collectable grades! ? 1 Quote

Hi Stu, Could you tell me what type of Edward III penny it is? I thought it was a treaty period penny, but I've been looking at other treaty period pennies for sale, and it doesn't look like any of them! Quote
Coinery Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 The legend certainly has it as a Treaty Series penny, what are your concerns? I confess to never having researched the edIII series in any great depth, so wouldn't know if continental coins existed for this reign. Time for a bit more reading! ? Quote

I definitely will be spending the winter swatting up on the Edward III series'. I've learned that the annual Spink isn't quite enough for identifying some of the pennies. I'm certainly going to focus on building up a better numismatic library this year! 1 Quote
Matteo95 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 In my modest opinion ,it's a normal Ed III treaty-period penny Type B1, according to Stewartby's book. 1 Quote
