Voided short cross penny of Richard I

This is coin number two of the pair sent in by Tom Hollis. As will become clear, it is earlier than the first coin.

This is a voided short cross penny of Richard I, which is an example of class 4a. On the reverse the legend is partly flat but the start and end can be seen and reads INC+OSB. Therefore, the moneyer will be Osbern and the mint Winchester.

Valuation

The obverse would grade about Fine but has been struck well off centre; the reverse is only Fair.  In its present condition my price range would be £25-30.
