loose54 Valued Member United Kingdom 51 Posts	Posted 08/30/2016 10:32 am Hi all! I am still trying to get to grips with some hammered coinage, I find the attributions so much harder than with milled pieces! I have got these three pieces, the two long cross pennies appear to be of Edward but they have distinctly different designs. The larger piece I think might be a groat of Henry VI but again, not sure. Any confirmation or help with mints etc would be most appreciated! Thanks all, Jack Report this Post to the Staff

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 08/30/2016 4:36 pm Yeah I find them extremely tricky too... The first looks like Edward IV, and I can see on the reverse it says LON DON running around from 12 to 6 oclock (inner circle of text) The second and third both have CAN TOR running from 6 to 12 on the reverse (Canterbury mint) (The full legend Civitas Cantor means city of Canterbury) Edited by DavidUK 08/30/2016 4:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I think you might be right with the Edward IV attribution, now I am looking for it I can almost see the shape of the lettering. Thanks for the mint attributions aswell. Echizento, thank you for the literature suggestions. Report this Post to the Staff
