Voided long cross penny of Henry III

John Lashmar asked for my opinion on the possible commercial value on this hammered silver coin.

John’s find is a voided long cross penny of Henry III and is an example of class 5g. On the reverse the legend reads REI NVD ONL VND so Renaud in the moneyer and London the mint.

This coin looks to be unusually clean for a detecting find. I’ve seen a very high number of voided long cross pennies as detecting finds but most have surfaces that are dull and grey.

Valuation

I’d grade this coin as VF and price it at £75. However, if it has been cleaned the figure would drop to £45.
