<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 5143499, member: 96746&quot;]Edward IV penny of Durham struck under Bp. Booth. This coin is somewhat problematic as the B and trefoil by the neck and D in the centre of the reverse clearly place this as the above, but the initial mark for this issue is given in Spink as either trefoil, rose or pellet in annulet. The mark is not obviously any of these, looking more like an annulet with a lis in the centre. Stewartby 6b (p.446) says (cross over?) pellet in annulet, which is presumably how he interpreted this coin being from his collection, but I struggle saying this is a cross in the middle given the shape seen. Best I can offer is that it is a reworked lis marked die that had previously been returned to London, which was reissued with pellet in annulet after modification, but the lis had not been properly erased. More research required.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1207389[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
