Class 5 Sub-Class ID of Henry III Voided Long Cross Penny

[JTerry3]

Dear all,

Recently purchased the attached coin with seller ID'ing it as a class 5a2 Henry III penny but is this designation correct as have noticed the chin is pointed which supposedly shouldn't be the case in class 5a2 coins according to link below?

Would appreciate any confirmation on this, many thanks.

If it is not a 5a2, then it could be a 5a1, in which case you got a bargain. But I am no expert.

You can rule out 5a1. The letter X is incorrect and the crown ends for class 5a1.5b2 is more likely.

Thanks for input & sharing that guidebook. Yes I would agree that it is most likely 5b2. 👍
