Very nice coins. I have a small collection of them and really enjoy them. Six pence as well.

For extra fun, try the three halfpence (1 1/2d) - a pretty short lived series for which pieces don't show up much.

I much prefer the hammered small stuff, though.

You are absolutely right. The six is just as lovely as the three. I envy your very beautiful 78. Is the direction of bust a different region or a different serie?

The bust direction is a change of monarch. As these are small, lots of them were pierced to put them on charm bracelets.

I never knew the direction was change of monarch,thank you geordie. That answers something that I had often wondered.

And now I know why so many are holed.

I for one am not bothered by holes, I collect for my enjoyment and keep culls as well as nice coins. As long as it is appealing to my eyes, one makes me as happy as the other. I have multiple coins of some and steadily hunting what I don't have.

I thought I'd add this Henry VIII halfpenny. At 13 m.m. I can say it's small. Past through many hands and poorly struck, it's still beautiful to me.

Archbishop Wolsey at Durham (1526 issue)

 

 

That's a nice coin. Has a bunch of wear but like you I'd be focused on how many hands it's passed through and maybe what it purchased.
