[QUOTE="HammeredCoin, post: 2231443, member: 75598"]Noob... I stumbled upon this thread tonight and got a look at your coin that you showed everyone above. You indeed have a class 3 Edward I penny. However, it is not of class 3d but of class 3g minted 1280-1281. Whoever assigned the 3d classification clearly was not a specialist. And this oversight on their part, my friend, is greatly to your advantage. It has a crown very similar to that of 3d, but the elephant in the room is the formation of the "N" on the obverse and reverse. Do you notice that the line connecting the two vertical lines of the N appears to have a smushed dot or pellet? [B][U]What you have is a very rare variation of class 3!![/U][/B] (and this rarity only occurs in class 3g, thus we know it is not a class 3d) Any Edward I collector, including myself, would LOVE to have it in their collection. Congratulations![/QUOTE]
