Penny of Henry III
Steve Bartlett said he unearth this hammered silver coin on the 2nd of February. Steve asked for a full ID and a valuation on his find.
The coin is a voided long cross penny of Henry III. On the reverse the legend reads GIL BER TON CAN, so Gilbert is the moneyer and Canterbury the mint. Â
Valuation
This penny is an example of class 5 but I can’t be more specific due to weak areas on the obverse. The reverse is well struck and would grade nearly Fine; the obverse isn’t as good and this side would grade only Fair. In its present condition my price range on this Henry III penny would be £15-18.
