Today I received a nice gift package from a good friend across the pond. Thanks Kev. I am able to ID all the other coins, but I have no clue when it comes to English Pennies. From what little I can read of the legend I think it might be Edward but that's just a guess. Any information would be appreciated.   19mm x 1.2g x 4h. |

Henry III, short cross type, Canterbury mint, moneyer Ioan. Legends hENRICVS R-EX // +IOAN ON CANTE. The exact variety is a tough call due to condition but Class 7, I think, perhaps 7bA which would make it North 979 and Spink SCBC 1356B.

Nice one Ron!. As @Kushanshah said these are very addictive. I really enjoy the English hammered I have in my collection.

Wow, they ask good money for them on Vcoins. Don't buy them there Ron, I have a few kicking around you can have when they turn up.  |

They are not as often encountered for sale here in the US but those of us who enjoy them ensure that bidding is quite spirited when they do show up. :)
Great coin, Echizento!
