London penny of Edward IV

A detectorist signing himself as Will said he had lots of coins and wants to sell some of them but he was uncertain about values. He sent in the images of this hammered silver coin and might send more in the future.

The coin is a London penny of Edward IV. It was struck during the light coinage of the first reign of this king. It has mint mark crown on the obverse only and there are saltires by Edward’s chin. In the Standard Catalogue this type is listed as number 2042.

Valuation

The state of preservation of this coin is much better than usual for the type. It is round and well struck on a flan that will be full weight. I’d grade it as nearly VF and in its present condition my price range would be £150-180.
