First one Edward I (London)

Second - Is either John or Henry III (Winchester mint), can't make out the moneyer from the picture & haven't got my book with me, so this is all I can give right now.

Yes, Eddie (London) are one of the most common hammered in my experience. The Winchester shortcross is on the scarce side

 

[jimmy uk]

great news =)

great news =)

Got the book, & can now see the shortcross moneyer ADAM of Winchester which makes it a King John (I think but nearly everyone Henry II & Richard I had a Adam at Winchester)? It would be great if it was before John (fingercrossed, update us?)
