[QUOTE="HammeredCoin, post: 2230860, member: 75598"]Almost. My representation of the cross may not be clear enough on my chart, so that cross style occurred between 1279-1297. The chart will only get you maybe 1/3 of the way there, but unless you are an avid collector of these pennies, you may not care to carry on much past that. Notice the style of the "S" on your coin.
