<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 119069, member: 283&quot;]There&#039;s a kind of checklist you can go through to eliminate possibilities.</p><p><br /></p><p>It starts with the mints. Some are only found on Edward I coins. So knowing the mint might just tell you straight off.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next on the list is the legends. Some legends are specific to Edward I</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s when you get to the legends that are identical on both coinages that you have to look for the other indicators, although if you know these `indicators&#039; you sometimes don&#039;t have to bother looking at the legends. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The legends on both these coins at first glance appear to be the same but is the first coin EDWA R ANGL DNS HYB or EDWAR ANGL DNS HYB? Check it closely against my coin and see what you think?</p><p><br /></p><p>The space can make all the difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>The `EDWA R&#039; legend is only found on Edward I coinages. However, the `EDWAR&#039; (no space) legend is common to the latter three types of Edward I coinage and all five types of Edward II&#039;s. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, that still doesn&#039;t tell whether MY coin is Edward I or II. For that you have to go to the next item on the checklist&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll bore everyone even more silly once the the rest of the world (aka `down under&#039;) has had a chance to chime in with any thoughts or comments they would like to make.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
