Message:: [QUOTE="AtlantaMan, post: 26263459, member: 158885"]Here are some pictures of what I believe to be an Edward 1st Long Cross Penny.  I have spent hours trying to decipher the mint on the reverse.  I've looked at similar coins on the PCGS website and others as well as striking up a conversation with Gemini (Google's AI) without any luck.  For the letters below on the reverse which are supposed to identify the mint, I've put a ? indicating that I really can't tell what the letter is. To me, reading clockwise, the letters look like this....  - These letters are in the first segment... T, O, ? (this ? looks like two capital "I" with a downward sloping crossbar connecting the two, it also appears there is a contractive mark between the two "i")  - These letters are in the second segment... V (could be a "U"), I, ? (this ? looks like a capital "I" but then there is a tall isosceles triangle adjoining it, there appears to be a contractive mark that comes off the top of the isosceles triangle).  - These letters are in the third segment... R, (could be a B), V, ? (this ? looks like two capital "I" with a downward sloping crossbar connecting the two).  - These letters are in the fourth segment... U (could be O or V), E, S. Note that when I turn the coin over (like reading a page in a book), there are no crosses that are perfectly upright. I have to rotate the coin 45 degrees in either direction to get an upright cross. What I did was rotate the coin 45 degrees clockwise to provide the lettering sequence above. Does anyone have an idea as to what this mint is?  Perhaps I don't have an Edward 1st coin after all?
