Shame it missing the edges Title: Re: Richard III Penny?? Post by: probono on January 13, 2018, 06:52:34 PM I was actually thinking Edward IV - the crown is wrong for Ed III.
These later pennies look pretty similar between Ed IV, Rich III and Henry VII - the crown shape apparently can give it away, but I'm never convinced. I've certainly a York mint.

It’s amazing just how similar some of these coins are! Title: Re: Richard III Penny?? Post by: Dale on January 13, 2018, 10:20:21 PM Nice find ;) I agree with Probono Edward IV
