Could Do With Some Help With This Coin

[Frankyg]

I think it's a William 1st "Pax Penny" but could do with any more information i.e. mint mark, legend, date, rough value etc. I'm thinking about putting it on e-bay . I've posted this over on the coins section but there do not seem to be as many visitors there.

Thanks people.

That's what it is, very nice find These coins can command a good price but it all depends on the mint, plus condition. This coin is has high wear and damage can't see you getting more than £80 for it, unless it's a rare mint. Still a great find.

Hard to tell for sure, but resembles to Type VIII Pax penny that was minted 1084-1088 (which spans the end of William I and the start of William II reigns). I say that more from the reverse than the obverse, but I can't tell how much the bending in the coin is distorting the images. Did you dig this up? It looks like a remarkable find!

Thanks guys. I'm moving house at the moment and came across this coin among a group of other coins that I've had for years. I can't remember digging this one and I'm sure that I would have remembered digging such a nice William The Conqueror coin. I think it was in a small group of hammered coins that I bought a few years ago.
