AR denier, 21mm, 1.28gr. Obv: degenerate head left, ‘+’ either side, other design elements. Rev: +DVNIS CAST__, central cross. Mint is Chateaudun. Attribution is difficult in that no image clearly matches the obverse design elements. R1579v; Boud 238+v; PdA 1824+v. Closest is Dy 462 (vers 1020-40, which largely covers Eudes rule). Seller Silberstein cites Legros 1014 as Eudes II and RR.

Bill denier, 20mm, 1.22gr. Obv: degenerate head. Rev: BEISIS CASTIO, central cross. Mint is Blois. Coin is circa 1050-80). Legros 965 (RR). His example weighs 1.30gr. R5056v as 12th, 13th C; Boud-; PdA 1690v; Dup 578v as 1050-80.

Billon denier, 20mm, 1.28 gr. Obv: "tete bleso-chartraine," to the right, three besants, 3 lower bars. Rev: +CARTIS CIVITAS, central cross. Mint is Chartres. R5071 as 10th, 11th C; boud 204; Dup 431 as 10th century and first half of the 11th.; PdA 1731XXXIV-2 as AR grand denier. His denier has a weight of 1.36 grams. The sketches in Dup and PdA look much more distinct than this coin. This coin has distinct under bars, in contrast to the short pointed marks shown in PdA's sketch. I think this is most likely 11th C.
