The first coin seems to be Spink 1348A or Class 4a for the Pennies of Richard I. Obverse description: Chin + side whiskers made up of beads/pellets; hair is made of up of two or more non-parallel crescents left and right. Crown usually has seven pearls.

There is a not as good example halfway down the page of this link http://www.hallshammeredcoins.com/?page=coins&offset=0&type=2

That's an Edward II penny, however, it's difficult to tell which class due to the E being worn away and the nose being indented. It could be any of class 11B/11C or 15A/B/C.

I haven't got access to my North catalogues at this time, so I can't be clearer than that.

It's either a late Edward I (Class 10C-10E) or an Edward II, really difficult to tell with this one, the face being worn, if it is an Edward II it's not Class 11, 12 unlikely as centre fleur looks more curved than wedgeshaped. Class 13 onwards more likely. Pictures in Coincraft really not very helpful for this. As my North catalogue is unavailable at present time I really cannot be more specfic than this, sorry!

Difficult ones London and Canterbury as they were the main two mints and they minted most classes.
