London groat of Edward IV
A detectorist signing herself as Mary is the finder of this hammered silver coin. She said she thought it was a groat of Edward IV but couldn’t find it in any of her books.
This is a London groat of Edward IV, which was struck during this king’s second reign. On the obverse there are fleurs on the cusps of the tressure but none above the crown or on the king’s breast. On the reverse there is a rose before AVDITOREM and sun after it. The mint mark on both sides is a pierced cross with a pellet in one angle.
From the preceding information I can say that this groat is one of several varieties of class XVIII. In the Standard Catalogue it is one of a number of groats listed as number 2098.   Â
Valuation
The coin would grade good Fine but the legend is weak in places. In its present condition my price range would be £80-90.
