Talk about keeping the best until last, well found Paul and well deserved. Am I jealous...................Hell yes

Post by: probono on June 05, 2015, 11:53:15 AM
As everyone has said - it is a nice coin - it was heartbreaking for me to have to hand mine over the to museum (they're at the BM at the moment).

On a ident note - it's a bit difficult to tell, but I think it is the treaty type without the annulet before 'EDWARD'.

When I was idying the ones I had, I found Spink not clear enough and I've had to resort to my copy of North (which I don't like as i don't think it's laid out well). Lots of varieties of these.

Have you weighed it? It looks a bit clipped, but could still be full weight - it might then give you an idea of when it was dropped.
