Edward I Penny Concerns...

Interesting - the coin was listed for sale as 1386 class 2b, 1385 is the same value in Spink - although it all dependent on condition F = £20 GBP VF = £60 GBP. Its good to have a minting date - thank you.

After looking again, now I am having second thoughts about saying definitively that it's 2a. I think your listing is correct saying 2b. The neck on the portrait I think justifies the 2b.

My apologies!

 

Thanks again - the neck area of the portrait is not the best to see the finer details to aid identification.

 

Yea...I think I just jumped the gun on the sub-class. Its very close. The major difference between the class 2a and 2b is the crown. Class 2a crown has a left leaf of the central fleur that is broken. Your example certainly looks that way to me. However, that could just be a bad strike and the neck and drapery of the King are of that of 2b.

 

The coin looks fine to me too.

 

What does that mean?

 

You really don't need to do anything special to the coin. Just keep it in a dry, clean environment and it will be fine. It survived 700+ years underground, it should be fine in your coin cabinet
