William Ii Penny

[JPK 3]

Hi,can anyone confirm the mint & moneyer on this Penny ,I think it's LIOFPINE ON GIP,not too sure these pics are gonna be good enough,or there just isn't enough detail to confirm.

I'm considering putting this one into auction,any ideas on what I could expect it to fetch.

The photograph doesn't make it clear but I'd say IELFPINE ON GIP which would make it Ælfwine. As for what it could fetch, entirely depends on where you're listing it. But I'd expect £1,250 - £1,500.

Tops. First issue is the best of a bad bunch. Luckily the rarity of the reign keeps the prices up a bit, but even for the best issue this one is a bit grim.

True, but Ipswich is a scarcer mint of this type, if I'm not mistaken.

It is one of a few reigns (Henry 1 is another) where the scarcity of the reign is almost as important as the mint. The premium for a rare mint rarely seems to exceed 30% for W2, whereas for common reigns such as Cnut, we are talking an order of magnitude (or more)
