<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 2474161, member: 40017&quot;]Very Useful! Berwick mint is a whole story to itself as they used their own dies and made less of a distinction between the reigns of Edward I,II and III. Now I am on the right page I can see that they are right and similar but not identical. I think I would now go for the second one as there is less fiddly damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Amazing that Berwick managed to keep making coins at that time as they kept having their city sacked by both English and Scottish armies. Most notable was in 1296 when Edward I&#039;s army under Robert de Clifford took it and virtually anihilated it. It is reputed that the Prince Bishop of Durham, Anthony Bek, was responsible for some of the worst atrocities. The wells of the city were filled with corpses to poison the water and make the city permanently uninhabitable - but still they came back![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
