Generic Lad Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I just bought a lot of unattributed cut hammered coins online from a dealer that I use fairly frequently for US and some world coins and was wondering if anyone could help me attribute them. 2 I believe are Henry II because from what I can tell from my trusty Spink/Seaby book his reign seems to be the only one that uses 4 of the orbs in each quarter of the cross and would have the cross on the top. Can't seem to make out any letters from the other coin so I have no clue about that. The dealer's pics aren't the greatest pictures, but I was wondering if any of the hammered experts here can help figure out what these are. Quote

Bottom left is difficult, but possibly class 8 based on the waisted shape of the N which is about the only identifiable letter. ND at the end of the reverse legend suggests LVND (London).Bottom right looks to be long cross type 5a or 5b based on the wedge tailed R. The moneyer is probably [DA]VID, so London Quote
