DG coins New Member United Kingdom 7 Posts	Posted 07/24/2017 2:03 pm Can anyone please help me identify this coin? I'm unsure of date and mint. I'm no expert on coins but have recently started a collection and still building up my knowledge. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 07/24/2017 3:04 pm I think its an English long cross penny... can read Civitas but not the mint... these I find hard to identify even with full legends Edward and Henry all look so similar. Who ever IDs please tell us what the clue is! Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5241 Posts	Posted 07/24/2017 3:07 pm This is a silver English penny. On the side with the cross and pellets, you can see the word civitas and the next letter may be a "D" . One of the Edwards to before Henry 8. Some of the letters are missing, which means that someone with more knowledge than me needs to narrow it down more. Medieval lettering is not modern looking, so some letters do not look like you might think. Report this Post to the Staff

Coopertron5000 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 516 Posts	Posted 07/24/2017 4:58 pm First impressions for me is this is a contemporary forgery. The general look of the coin doesn't feel right. Possibly blundered obverse legend, the reverse cross and portrait looks crude. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 07/26/2017 02:23 am Look at the reverse. "CIVITAS" , yes, but then "D".. I would suggest a penny of Edward III, Durham mint, probably the EDWARD REX ANGLIE obverse, CIVITAS DUREME/DUNELME/DUNELM/etc. Might be a continental forgery (contemporary) as seen elsewhere in Europe.
