Edward (III?) Penny London Mint Assist with SCBC and North Numbers
Joe Sermarini:
Edward (III?) Penny London Mint Assist with SCBC and North Numbers.
1.380g, 18.1mm, 45 deg axis
+ EDWA REX ANGL DNS hVB (or similar, double struck so not clear, closed E's, wedge tailed R)
CIVITAS LONDON (closed C, Roman N's)
I have the references, but I really do not have the expertise to identify the SCBC or North numbers for this coin. The double strike on the legend is making it too much of a challenge. English coin experts, please help. Thanks.
Joe Sermarini:
Help.

These links might help:

Based on the first picture in the first link (will enlarge if you click on it), this coin may be Edward I or II. Look at the crown.
My experience in these is limited to verifying what the dealer said it was. So at least I had a starting point.
Good luck.

Hi,
The double striking doesn't help. It is certainly not Edward III, the crown style is wrong.
I think this MAY be class XIa so Edward II. That would be North 1060, SCBC 1455.

Mauseus
Joe Sermarini:
Thanks Callimachus and mauseus. I will post here if I think I have figured it out.
