Edward Halfpenny ID Confirmations

[jacobvs]

Good evening,

I would greatly appreciate if anyone can confirm my initial identifications for the attached coins.

I've got Coin 1 down as a class 10-11 Halfpenny of Edward II; North 1069/2?

I believe the obverse legend reads EDWARDVS REX AN although I'm not sure if there is an additional G or not? The N's in LONDON also appear to be Roman with a single bar.

Weight 0.5g, Diameter 14.3mm

I think Coin 2 is an Edward III example, probably North 1131, with EDWARDVS REX legend and Lombardic n's in LOnDOn. Not sure about the initial mark though??

Also on coin 2 there appears to be an impression of the reverse long cross on the obverse. Is this a brockage or just an overzealous striking og the reverse ??? It's definitely real and not an optical effect in the image; they line up exactly. 

Coin 2: Weight 0.5g, Diameter 15mm

Appreciate anything anyone can add.

Best regards,

James

P.S.  Whilst I don't want to sell anything at moment, I was curious about the value of my coins. Does anyone know of a good online valuation service that can be used without actually wanting to sell??? Again, any help much appreciated.

Apologies, but pictures didn't upload in the right order - I'll do one coin at a time in future!

From top down they are in fact; Coin 2 Reverse, Coin 1 Obverse, Coin 2 Obverse, Coin 1 Reverse.

Many thanks 

James

Hello, James welcome to the forum, I'm in the same boat and I have the challenge of Identifying all of my hammered coins, although its not that straight forward with Edwards and being rubbed out some remain un identified due to lack of detail....As for value and once identified compare prices on E-bay it will give you a general idea of what their price is, hope this helps "H"

Hello 'H',

Thanks for your response. I'm gradually getting better at doing ID's although its always nice to get an expert confirmation or otherwise!

Agree with worn examples. It always seems to be the really diagnostic bits that are missing ☺️.

I'm using Withers halfpence and farthings books at present, which I find very good.
