Dearborn Moderator United States 96615 Posts	Posted 02/20/2024 07:24 am Thanks Paddy - great information as usual! I was wondering if Edward V would have any coins issued because of his 1 year reign, but have not yet started there yet. The rest of these coins may take another 40 years to collect.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7952 Posts	Posted 03/04/2024 08:36 am Since I see you're still looking for confirmation, I don;t know if this makes any difference, but I am seeing EDVR' at the beginning of the obverse legend, instead of EDWR' . Maybe that's just a variant of one of the types already mentioned? Edited by tdziemia 03/04/2024 08:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/04/2024 09:47 am Definitely a W. The W is two wedge punches with a broad base and a rounded-off inverted wedge in between pointed up; compare to the V in CIVI on the reverse, with a sharply pointed base and a hollow space between both diagonals. The top of the left wedge punch in the W has been somewhat flattened by the rim damage in that area, but the bottom point of the wedge is clear and its leftmost diagonal is visible running up to the D in ED. Another way to tell is to look at the spacing between ED and R and compare the size of that gap to the width of the V in CIVI. As an aside, his name was originally spelled Eadweard in OE, and might have been pronounced something like AY-ad-vay-ard, with a very slight pause between each "e-a" and a slightly more breathy (open) final "d." The "v" sound is preserved in the Scandinavian forms of his name (Edvard, e.g.) Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7952 Posts	Posted 03/04/2024 1:15 pm Ah, you're right. I was trying hard to see the leftmost part of the W and couldn't, and knew it couldn't be the style of W composed of two Vs which is seen on the later classes. But, you're right, the (partial) left wedge is visible at the base, and now that you point it out, I can imagine the top might have been there at one point, or there was some strike weakness on that part of the coin.. I was also looking at the extraordinarily thick "backs" of the E and G on this coin, which to me usually signals earlier rather than later. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96615 Posts	Posted 03/05/2024 06:20 am Thanks for that additional information. I'll get this coin out of the 2x2 and get more images of it if necessary.
