What word is it ?

[Matteo95 120]

Hi all !!

I'm sorry for this strange question ! I need your help because I don't understand a word written on a ticket that it was given to me with the coin . It is the word followed by the question mark .

Thanks

Matteo

What was the coin , that may help.....

Could be Lion and Lis. That is usually found on Class 13, 14 & 15 though at Durham. A picture of the coin would help.

Edward II penny I expect, I think the word before the ? is 'lis'?

[Matteo95 120]

The coin is a Edward II penny struck in Bury St Edmund class 11b1 from Robin J. Eaglen collection ( lot 641 from last September DNW auction ) ... When I return home I 'll post a photo ...

P.s the coin is from the Ednam hoard ..

New dies? Possibly

[Nutsaboutcoins 105]

Looks like "New & Lis?" to me, but sorry not sure what that would mean.

New dies?

[Matteo95 120]

Thanks to all ... New dies is probably the most sensible but in effect for the last eord I read "lis" ... I post the photos as request

[Rob 3,152]

New dies it is. Not helped by the dotted e!

Nice BSE Eddie.

Ticks the boxes for me.

Do you hate me ? :)

Thanks

I understand your first sentence but your second not ... I think it has a particular meaning because literally translated I can't understand has nonsense in this contest.

Yeah I know ... You have to be patient with me ...

Matteo I think you have a lot to bring to this forum, don't worry about English being your (presumably) 2nd language!

Peter can be very cryptic, but in this case 'ticks all the boxes' is a common English phrase. It means that all the criteria you are looking for in a coin are met (boxes ticked). e.g. grade, eye appeal, balance, mm, mint, moneyer, rarity, price, etc, etc

Matt

I was born in Bury and still only live 8 miles away.

It is my home town.

I love BSE coins.

You have a fantastic coin.

If you can tick all the boxes your coins will be great.
