<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HammeredCoin, post: 2226250, member: 75598&quot;]Here is a new addition to the collection.&nbsp; This is an example of an Edward III penny.&nbsp; While it looks VERY similar to the pennies minted during the reigns of Edward I and II, the dead giveaway of Edward III pennies is in the style of the crown.&nbsp; The crowns that are seen in the earlier Edwardian pennies are not as nicely/cleanly formed as those seen in Edward III pennies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another major clue in my specimen is the appearance of annualet (small circle) stops in the legend on the obverse of the coin.&nbsp; These do not appear in the legends of the earlier Edwardian pennies, only in rare instances on the bust of the king.</p><p><br /></p><p>This example is from the third coinage from 1344-51.&nbsp; It is also considered an &quot;unusual type&quot; because of the roman style &quot;N&quot; and a legend that reads &quot;EDWR&quot; and not &quot;EDW&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]436982[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]436983[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
