<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheRed, post: 4675349, member: 87080&quot;]The penny is an awesome find [USER=103128]@clanger[/USER].&nbsp; Thanks for the vote of confidence [USER=74712]@FitzNigel[/USER].&nbsp; I would agree with those that have put forward class 4a.&nbsp; The coin has the small non-pelleted curls for hair of class 1 thru 5a1, the beard of pellets that was only from class 4, and a crown of 7 pellets, also a feature of class 4.&nbsp; Also, as others have noted, the moneyer appears to be Aimer.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The Wren book is great for basic identification and the price is hard to beat.&nbsp; The most in depth book to cover short cross pennies is the SCBI volume on the coinage by J.P. Mass.&nbsp; He was the undisputed expert of short cross pennies.&nbsp; That said, the book sells for $250 or more these days and is hard to track down.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1151766[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
