Coinery Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I'm always going to struggle with coins that are nearly a thousand years old and look like this! 231535561239I think I've got Ashmore and Grunal to thank for all this.It all looks to type, but I just couldn't go there! Things seem so much easier once you move into the short-cross coinage of Henry II Quote

davidrj Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Also, pardon my ignorance, why wasn't Edward the Confessor Edward I?In English common law nothing happened before the Norman conquest and the Domesday Book, all previous titles and property rights have no standing. Quote

Genuine but I wouldn't be overly comfortable owning it. Quote
