Thank you jackie.We might need a picture to get us started pleaseLooks to be an Eddy penny (Edward I - III) of some sort, looks to also be Durham mint, CIVITAS DUREME. I am sure someone else will be able to give you some more accurate information, but my library for pennies is a bit lacking Quote

Cerbera100 Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Fate... I was sat here browsing the forum, and I came across your thread - seconds after I've just opened my trusty copy of North V2!Ok - Can pretty much rule out Ed II and III... and it being Durham limits the choice further! So, with a bit of digging (and not being able to make out the initial/mint mark or abbreviation marks) I'm going with either Vb, VIIIb or Xb.I may get shot down, but I think my reasoning is sound!

Peter Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) It would appear to be battered but is nice and round.Pennies are classified and ID'D even in Spink.Get yourself Englands striking history from Chris....it is cheap as chips and a good read.North comes in 2 volumes and will set you back £100.

Geordie582 Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 I'd say it is Edward I Class 10b of Bishop Bec of Durham, Note the cross moline as initial mark. Quote

Peter Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 As a forum we seem to know a lot about nothing.I still am learning and long may this happen.Tell you what it is bloody chilly...even my dawg had a foot outside and decided to snuggle next to my slippers.This is the weather when I wish I had a log fire.A loaf of bread and a toasting fork....and a bevy of beauties to sponge me down.....well I have 2 out of 4;) Quote

Cerbera100 Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 I'd say it is Edward I Class 10b of Bishop Bec of Durham, Note the cross moline as initial mark. Yay, I was right! - just not brave enough to have a punt at the initial mark! Quote
