<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3691961, member: 19463&quot;]Forgive my slipping in medieval coins but I am struggling with ID of a couple English pennies.&nbsp; I am a little shocked at the format and things made important by catalogs.&nbsp; It seems harder to find legend listings but they put a lot of emphasis on tiny differences i the crown or a letter shape.&nbsp; I would appreciate confirmation or being walked through my errors on the two Pennies below.</p><p><br /></p><p>Henry III long cross Walter on Canterbury type Vg S.1373</p><p><br /></p><p>The X is weak and not clear to me but significant to the ID?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]989430[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The one below was sold to me as Edward I an admittedly is not much of a coin in many respects but I am hazarding a guess. There is a space where the diagnostic A in EDWAR should be.&nbsp; This one seems to depend a lot on things not clear on this specimen. </p><p><br /></p><p>Edward II Bury St. Edmunds type 14 S.1465</p><p>[ATTACH=full]989432[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I have <b>England&#039;s Striking History </b>and a 1999 edition of Spink <b>Coins of England</b>. (Is there any reason to get a new one?&nbsp; I do not care about prices or new coins.)&nbsp; Is there another book/site I should know? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
