To give people an idea as to the common halves of the hammered world. Pennies were cut at the mint into halves and even quarters to make 'small change'.
This is a cut half of Richard I, Class 4b Alein on Durham. A superb portrait in my opinion!

That is a good portrait . A full Dicky is one I'm missing - I have a couple of halves.
I'm also missing a full Richard Penny, might be a while until I get one though!
Another nice coin. 
What a great portrait, I realy like that
Well I am no expert so all I can say is that I like it 
Is definitely Stiven on Lund, looks like a slight error on the portrait. Do you want help with classing?
Tell a lie I have two whole Richard pennies, thought they were Johns for some reason...

Not really. It's just I have the same 'error' with a Henry II looking threequarter portrait. Just wondered if there were more out there?
