London groat of Edward III

Jeff Steven said this coin turned up whilst he was detecting in East Sussex. A full ID and a valuation was requested.

Jeff’s find is a London groat of Edward III. On the obverse there is an annulet below the bust of the king and another on the reverse, within one of the groups of pellets in the angles. Therefore, the coin is an example of class Ga, which dates between 1356 and 1361.

Valuation

The obverse would grade Fine, the reverse about VF. However, the surface on both sides looks rather peculiar; this might be the end result of soil conditions in the area within which the coin was found. As it stands, my valuation figure on this groat would be £70-80.
