This article documents all the known dies of the Henry III Posthumous Class 7 pennies, from all three issuing mints: London, Bury and Durham. It is an update on work I published several years ago, and benefits from the new specimens that have come to light since then. For the obverse dies of Phelip of London, statistical analysis suggests that about two-thirds of the obverse dies may now be known. The article is actually a report output directly from a Microsoft Access database, so any new coins that turn up can be entered into the database and the article quickly updated. I invite readers with any further examples to please contact me using the comments box below.

Edward I class 1a pennies with a forked crown – Denis Martin
In the last few years more coins have emerged displaying a peculiar variation in the crown on the obverse of the Edward I class 1a type.

Coins from Edward III’s 3rd issue, the Florin coinage, are divided into two groups. Firstly, the rare Unusual types A to E and secondly, the Normal (or Main) types 1 to 4. Durham coins are dealt with separately. Occasionally a coin turns up which throws some new light on the issue, in this case the chronology of the earliest coins produced in the series. It is such a discovery by the author which is the subject of this note.
Further Examples of an Unusual Lettering Variant, Edward I – Rob Page
This is an update to an article published in late October. The original article featured a class 3 coin from Lincoln with a lettering error. We now have a second, and finer, example of that error, and we also have a similar error on a class 9 coin from London. One wonders if it also occurs on any other classes? With thanks to Jonathan Morris for sharing images of his coins.
