Ukstu Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 John. Class 5b3. Rauf at Chichester . Notice the broken eye punches. Excellent find. A hard mint to crack. Great condition too. 👍 Quote

Ukstu Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) It's all class 5b3 coins. A broken punch was used to create the dies. Once you notice it you'll always be able to definitely tie a coin down to a 5b3 even if other details are worn or missing. Edited March 14, 2018 by Ukstu Quote

Ukstu Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Yes sorry. It's all mints. I think the dies were made at London & Winchester . Edited March 14, 2018 by Ukstu Quote
Ukstu Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Chichester was only operating for around a year 1205/06. That's why coins of that mint are rare. Edited March 14, 2018 by Ukstu 1 Quote
