Paulus Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Can anyone ID this for me? I think it's Henry III, Spink 1368 or 1368A. Adthanksvance Quote
Rob Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) I think it's later than a 5b. I'd go 5g(?) based on the shape of the h, X, crown and rounded chin. What's the mint and moneyer as this will give a good indication of type?Is it yours and if so, is it full of soil which might come off in a gentle wash? Edited February 17, 2015 by Rob Quote
Paulus Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Looks like London?Tis mine but I haven't got it in hand as yet, I agree it looks like it might benefit from a wash!Moneyer might be Ricard?I'll post better pics when I have it, thanks Rob Edited February 17, 2015 by Paulus Quote
Rob Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 It's RICARD ON LVND with a ligated AR, but there is so much crud on it that making a sense of the letter shapes is a bit too much like hard work. The reverse looks cracked. Is it like that all the way through? Quote
Peter Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Time for a softened toothpick and cotton bud methinks. Quote
azda Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 It does looked cracked in the 1st quarter on the REV Quote
Paulus Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 I've now received the coin and given it a gentle wash, hopefully it will now be easier to ID?I think it's 'just' a scratch on the reverse, not a crack ... Quote
Garrett Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 yes that's better !Looked like the defect may have been at 2 o'clock on the obverse in the first pic, but it is gone now.Nice coin. Quote

Rob Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) The X of REX looks 5g-i, the h of hENRIC 5f-i, the R 5d-i and the A 5a-7. The crown says 5g, so with Ricard only striking at London up to 5g and taking all the letters into consideration, that makes this a 5g.You now need a copy of North vol.1 Edited February 22, 2015 by Rob Quote
