Excerpt from The Numismatic Chronicle, and Journal of the Numismatic Society, 1898, Vol. 18 From the above list it will be seen that this is of the most important finds of silver coins, so far as it relates to the reign of Edward III, that has taken place in recent times in England. The series of groats and half-groats of that reign are very extensive, especially those which belong to the first issue; and varieties of legend and type enable us to divide them up into several classes, showing some chronological sequence. The pre servation of these coins is, on the whole, very satisfactory, some pieces even being in a fine state. The pennies of Edward I, II, and III, are equally numerous; but nu fortunately the worn condition of many of them rendered their classification in some instances a matter of some difficulty.
