<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheRed, post: 3703638, member: 87080&quot;]I couldn&#039;t agree more about Edwardian pennies.&nbsp; Even the shortcross series of Henry II - Henry III has more discernable features than the long cross coinage of Edward I - III.&nbsp; While there are some very easily distinguishable mints and marks, many of the classes are identical save for the most minuscule details.&nbsp; I have given up trying to be a completist and focus on Edwardian pennies I find attractive.</p><p><br /></p><p>All that said, [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] I think your long cross penny is a class 10 or 11.&nbsp; The A after EDW is present, just hard to make out.&nbsp; The bottom of the letter is just barely visible.&nbsp; That said, the level of detail required to discern which class/sub-class it belongs to doesn&#039;t appear to be there.&nbsp; I would be content in saying that it is a late Edward I to early Edward II penny that was minted in the early 1300s.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The most authoritative source for the deliniation of the different classes of Edwardian pennies was written in 1909 by the Fox brothers.&nbsp; It is titled &quot;Numismatic History of the Reigns of Edward I, II and III.&quot;&nbsp; A PDF can be found online by doing a Google search.&nbsp; While it has been revised over the years, it still is the source for the classification system of these pennies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
