Edward (I?) Penny - Any ideas on the class/type?

Recommended Posts

So figured I'd pick up an Edward hammered penny, the price was right so I figured why not (since they're rather hard to get here in the US and shipping tends to cost half as much of the coin to buy them from the UK and hopefully not a fake this time :) )

Any ideas on the exact identification? Been trying to search around here  https://www.ukdfd.co.uk/pages/edwardian-Pennies/Edwardian%20Pennies%20P17.htm and it looks like:

 

I have the word of EDWAR which would be be anywhere from 10-15, the crown top looks like the one for 13, but it looks like the other identifying thing for class 13 is that the initial cross is made out of 4 triangles but mine looks solid? 11 also looks kinda similar. Any ideas on this?

hi sorry to jump on this topic I have a £2 golden guinea with errors but not sure if it's a common error or not could you have a look please. 

in the word what the T is stuck but the metal hasn't been removed on part off it but can see were the T outlines.

in the word TIS it has been misstruck and reads 1IS instead.

It's a teeny tiny minting defect with no significance whatsoever. It's still worth exactly £2, sorry.
