Only got a minute so off the top of my head I think your right - Ed I Penny - looks like a Durham mint (I can see TAS/DVN), which makes it far rarer than the common London & Canterbury. Might need to check the mint later, but its not London, so thats a great bonus.

PS. just checked, happy its a Durham Mint (Collectable condition), but without the initial cross above the crown at the start of the legend I'm a little unsure which Edward it is. Ed I is most likely, but I'm no good with crown & portrait types, plus the full obverse legend is a little hard to make out.

UKDFD are good at IDs. Mine was a quick stab with no books before I left to go detecting.
