I would go with definetly not a lizzy and go back a few hundred years from there.
2 people atlest will know by the lettering style alone.I think it may not be an eddy penny.
Just got that feeling.

Hope to see a Henry penny when visible. do not force it open, heat and softly does it, and perhaps heat a few times if any issues along the way.

Nice finds . The hammered is Edward I, London mint, and probably somewhere between classes 1-3 or an outside chance of class 7.
