Out last Saturday with Ian  We had over thirty coins    between us I had a spindle whorl and a barrel tap key
the coin shown I found some months ago and wonder is it a Henry the third penny???

Yes - it's a voided long cross penny.

I think it is class 5b (sceptre >class 3, henricus starts after the sceptre >4, nicely formed without a black eye class 5b), but I could be wrong.

My eyes tell me the moneyer is Nicole at London

Well found. I'm going for class 5a, because the foot of the R doesn't appear to be wedge-shaped. London mint as Roland says, but I'm not sure on the moneyer - could also be Ricard.

Pleeeease someone tell me what the secret is. How did glynkid get his hammered id so fast???
I asked for a hammered id on Feb 3rd. was read 82 times but no id.
Asked again Feb 9th. was read 23 times but still no id.
What have I done wrong??? Should I have asked in "metal detector finds" instead of "beat the doc" like others now do?
