I've been after adding some hammered coins to my collection for years but been put off by the cost, I've just managed to get myself three from a larger joblot of coins and wondering if anyone would be able to ID them, I've ordered some books to help but unlike my regular collection (world silver coins) these things are a completely new experience for me.
I've labelled them A B & C, A & B are about 17 - 18mm across and the smaller one, C is about 15mm
Thanks :)

Yes, B is Edward and the mint is possibly Durham, there are 3 rulers and many mints to chose from, I'll send a link to Edward coins varieties when I'm back home

Thanks radrick007 that would be great, I didn't realise just how hard getting into hammered coins would be compared to moderns.

Yes, B is Edward and the mint is possibly Durham
Yes: CIVITAS DVR EME
Concerning the strange flower at the center of the cross, for coin-A, I found this surprising coin on Alamy
Then more seriously, the mint for coin A is York : CIVI-TAS EBO-RACI
Similar to this one :
