I slabbed a hammered penny from Edward I again! Well, to some American friends, this is not so unforgivable; but to some British friends, this is a total heresy!</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri">I, actually, am one of those who won’t accept slabbed hammered coins. I do like feeling these old coins in my hands. NGC or PCGS capsules look like coffins to these charming little coins! </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri">But! Due to a bet between one of my friends and me, I subscribed this very nice Edward I penny to NGC to see what grade it will receive. I believed it would be AU 55 or 58, while my friend, only XF 45.</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri">So here comes MS 62! Yes, this Edward I penny is the best-looking one I have ever seen. But MS 62 still exceeds my expectation. I know a Cnut penny in MS is not so astonishing as Cnut pennies tend to have very good conditions. But a very common and widely circulated Edward I penny in MS should be something!</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri">Anyway, NGC is not strong at identifying the British hammered coins. They mislabel this penny as S1383 (class 1d), while it should be S1385 (class 2a).</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri">Enjoy!</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri">Assur</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri">[ATTACH=full]283262[/ATTACH] </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri">&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]283261[/ATTACH]&nbsp;&nbsp; </font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
