Coinery Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Difficult one as the collar and crown are not especially clear. Looking at Bente & Withers, I'd say these are as good as any pellets demonstrated in the crowns they show - spearheads are much larger and angular, so what do you think? I know some pellets are large and very round but, equally, they are shown to be small too. The collar...some of the images show very squared off collars, and I'm guessing mine would run across the neck but for the weakness? So, to save me looking for a die match, what do we all think? The old collector ticket suggests 3b, not that I ever go by those. 3 Quote
davetmoneyer Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Definitely 3b, there are quite a lot of dies used for 3b, No York coins for 3a or 3bc transitional so any York coins with pellets in crown have to be, by default, 3b Quote

I ask again, where is all this info. stored? In your own records, or spread out across endless articles? Will you be putting together an Edward I tome anytime soon? 👍 Quote
