The coin appears to be from the 'second coinage' (c. 1280-?) If so, then it could be one of about 8 varieties of this penny. 23 points suggests Aberdeen mint.
Those on that side of the pond may have your answer very soon.
One of these eight types (SCBC 5057) is for sale here at $295:

it's been suggested that it may be a reproduction...need to do some test. :icon_scratch:
 
The coin does look a little thick on the rim. Also the colour looks like pewter rather than silver. The pic though is too blured to be 100%.
