    At one time I owned a whole bunch of those, they were well represented in the Colchester hoard of late date Henry III and early Edw I coins. Quite a few of the coins in the hoard were from Bury St. Edmunds and Canterbury.

    Your class II and IV look like they have some nice color. The detail on the portrait of the type IV is really striking!

    Bob13, they do have some nice color and the class IV is from the 1908 Brussels Hoard.
