DaveG38 Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 I don't have too many hammered coins, but for those I have, I've been going through them checking with the Galata Guide for attribution of the Ed I and II pennies. Mostly, so far its been fairly straightforward, but the attached one has me stumped. Its in rubbish condition (is that a new grade?) but the legends don't seem to make much sense to me. So can anyone help? All I can determine is that the reverse legend starts with DURE (for Durham I assume) and on the obverse the crown is bifoliate. The obverse legend seems to be EDW.......ANOHI...., with the A having an annulet to the left hand side. Quote
Matteo95 Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 You can't find on the Galata Guide because It is Ed III. Sorry but at the moment I can't give you a more detailed id. Quote
DaveG38 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Posted November 26, 2017 I'm not questioning what you said, but from this really poor example, how can you tell so easily? Quote
Coinery Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Definitely Ed III but I too am away at the mother-in-laws, and don't know the series well enough to comment further without my books, except to agree that it's Durham. Edited November 26, 2017 by Coinery Quote

How do you get there so quick - these pennies all look the same to me! Quote
davetmoneyer Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 practice, practice practice, its all a matter of looking at what is visable on the coin Quote
