<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Conduitt, post: 7706375, member: 109923&quot;]It&#039;s a bit tricky with half a coin. John usually has a longer face but that&#039;s no help here.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the top one: according to Rod Blunt&#039;s website (<a href="https://www.rodblunt.com/short-cross-pennies" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.rodblunt.com/short-cross-pennies" rel="nofollow">https://www.rodblunt.com/short-cross-pennies</a>), there was a Tomas at a few mints but your coin luckily has the end of Canterbury, so he must be that Tomas, who produced: 6d, 7a1, 7a2, 7a3, 7b1, 7b2, 7b3, 7b4.</p><p><br /></p><p>Henry III&#039;s coins are Classes 6c to 8c, so it has to be Henry III. I&#039;m not sure how they ruled out Class 6d, other than by the law of probability.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>For the other two: Samuel was only at Canterbury, but covered Richard I, John and Henry III: 4b, 4c, 5a1, 5a2, 5b1, 5b2, 5b3, 5c, 6b2, 6c1, 6c2, 6c3, 7a1, 7a2, 7a3.</p><p><br /></p><p>Neither has a single crescent on each side for hair, so aren&#039;t Class 4, ruling out Richard I. The hair on Class 7 is 2.5 ringlets, and your second coin definitely ends in a full ringlet, which would mean that isn&#039;t Class 7 (Henry III). It also seems to have only 2 ringlets, which would make it either Class 5 or early Class 6, which is John.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
