    Finding it very hard to represent what it looks like in hand, and of course this changes massively with lighting and angles in any case! 1937 crown attempt

    Lord knows what the circumstances were, but I've just snapped up a coin on eBay for £96 that was sold by Lloyd Bennett only last month! Beautiful little thing in hand! Anyone know where/when the FEJ collection got sold off?

    Thanks alot for the replies, I will definitely look at getting a copy of The Galata Guide to The pennies of Edward I & II for further reading. Also, many thanks for the link, exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.

    Hi Welcome Jim Yes it looks like an Edward Ist Longcross penny. London mint. I struggle to classify these coins into there correct classes so i won't attempt that. Perhaps someone else can. Here's some further reading that may help you on your quest. http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/pages/edwardian-Pennies/Edwardian%20Pennies%20P1.htm Regards Stu.

    If you are interested in Edward I then probably the best place to start would be a copy of "The Galata Guide to The pennies of Edward I & II" . This will keep you occupied for hours with the 100+ varieties. If you have just a passing interest then just wait for the other replies and someone will try to identify it for you. There seems to be something wrong with the DNS part of the inscription which is interesting. Second choice of book would be Wren "The English Long-Cross Pennies 1279-1489. After a cursory look it appears to be an early class with open C and E and wedge S? I cannot go further but it might just be a stirling immitation. See what everyone else says.

    Thats a nice coin Paulus!! The shiny side on my coin was a bit of a put off after reading the comments, so i,ve sold it for £125, which is still reasonable considering the quality of the coin. I will wait until another comes along that has not been polished.Some people!! Polishing a matt proof coin uugghhh!! Thank you all once again for your valued help.
