Possible Edward I or II Coin

[RobertScott]

I was wondering if anybody might be able to help me. I have a Edward Plantagenet coin but I am finding it very difficult with my limited knowledge to decide which class (or indeed which king) it is. It is a London mint.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edward I class 10, Robert

Take a browse around this site, it’s the best online resource there is. If books are your thing, the best of those are the Galata Guide to the Pennies of Edward I and II by Bente and Withers

haha I reckon if I  quoted Edward I class 10 f i'd be right in 99% of id's lol

 

why does the class 10 seem to be the most common ? 

 

 i'm sure I read in the great re coinage of Edward I something like 130,000,000 pennies were struck ?

You’d be right nearly 50% of the time at least

You should’ve stuck your neck out and had a go

In this example, with the legend, incurved letters, and bifoliate crown (that’s not one of the easily identifiable Ed II crowns), it’s a no-brainer for Class 10. 

With Class 10, for me at least, I need to then sit down with a bit of paper and wade my way through the resources to determine and feel happy with the sub-class...it’s a pig to get right otherwise, for me at least.

The rest of the series is easy blinkin’ peasy! 😛

You're just a pro Stu. The class 10s baffle the heck out of me... even with the Galata Guide and Dave's Grunal page I still can't get a handle on them 😕

Dave's Grunal page

Ha ha, not in the least, just too much time on my hands, that’s all!  

Is Dave’s page the FB one, I’ve not seen it?

I can’t see any specific pages for the Edwards on his website, though, and the FB link is broken. But I’m modern, I’ll track it down

Found it!

Great resource for images, but you’d need to know your coins first before it could be really useful. It would be a massive undertaking now that they’re up, but having the class and sub-class on the images would be useful.

Edit: Ah, got it...click on the image and you get a nice big write up. Well done, Dave, must have taken ages
