PLANTAGENET. Edward I. 1272-1307. AR Penny (18mm, 1.41 g, 7h). New coinage, class 3a. London (Tower) mint. Struck circa June 1280–December 1281. Crowned facing bust / Long cross pattée; triple pellets in quarters. SCBI 39 (North), 77; North 1016; SCBC 1387. Golden iridescent toning. In NGC encapsulation 6437573-003, graded MS 62. A beautiful penny and rare in this condition.

Ex E.J. Harris (Dix Noonan Webb 56, 11 December 2002), lot 10; E.W. Rashleigh (Sotheby, Wilkinson, & Hodge, 21 June 1909), lot 645 (part of); Henry Webb Collection (1809-1894; with ticket in his hand [Eaglen C72]); John Frederick Neck Collection (circa 1835-1910); 1873 Northampton Hoard.

The coin is accompanied by a ticket in the hand of Henry Webb, indicating it originates from the 1873 Northampton Hoard, which was published by John Frederick Neck (“On a hoard of Edward I coins discovered at Northampton, with remarks on the coinage of Edward I, II, and III,” in NC V.2 [1882]). Webb purchased Neck’s collection in the mid 1880s, presumably including this coin.
