Short Cross Penny

[Citizen H]

Back with a sift through the collection / hoard of my Hammered coins

This Identification is a real challenge when rubbed out, 

could it be a Short Cross, Penny, Otto of Ravensberg 1220-1244 ? 

or John 1199-1216

a better knowledge opinion appreciated,......... many thanks "H"

for some reason the web page wouldn't allow the coin picture to load the right way up,.... on this occasion all seem well......

Not much to go on, but definitely a John (Class 5 ?) or Henry III (class 6?)short cross penny.

Still trying to work out the moneyer and mint

[Coys55]

I think I can see DRE, which could make it:

Alisandre on C, G or GI  (Ipswich) or R (Rochester). That would make it John class 5b or 5c.

or

Andrev on London, Canterbury, Lincoln or Winchester. Also John class 5.

There's definiitely a ligated ND, but that wouldn't necessarily help to differentiate between the two. Possibly a C at the end of the mint signature?

So, I'm going for ANDREV.ON.NIC, John class 5, Lincoln mint  

Anyone else?
