<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AnYangMan, post: 2844285, member: 87271&quot;]Obvious bifoliate crown, kings name abbreviated as “EDWAR”, thus pointing to classes 10-15. We can exclude class 12 (because of the crown) and 13 (because of the mintmark) immediately. The ‘E’ in the kings name is angular, thus eliminating class 10. The options we now have left therefore are Class 11, 14 or 15. The only thing to easily differentiate between these classes is the crown, and minor stylistic differences are what we have to look for. The one thing that immediately jumps out for me, are the two intermediate ornaments. They in no way resemble those of the fifteenth class, which are much more nicely formed.&nbsp; That leaves two classes; 14, which is not subdivided, and 11, which has four more sub classes. The main difference is the right ornament. On coins of class 14 they are simply stumps, while on class 11 the right one is still relatively toadstool-shaped. Yours is of the former type; class 14. The other details of this class also check out; high central fleur, pointed chin, and is that a small smile I see on that bust?</p><p><br /></p><p>Class 14 was minted around 1317-1319, which places it comfortably within the reign of Edward II. To be honest, I just love these Edwardian pennies, and I have a fair few myself. And $10.63 for the lot? Killer deal!</p><p><br /></p><p>Mika[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
