In the UK grading system this would be classed well below Fine and, as such, is not rare.

Still, it's less common than a 'standard' penny of Victoria so still a nice thing to come across.

I've just uploaded some items to my Summer List. Please take a look: http://www.historiccoinage.com/newadditions.php

Includes this:

Thank you very much, chaps!

very helpful - have to try another site!

Not sure if this is sarcastic, but I didn't see this post as it's in the Ancient section rather than the British Hammered section where I tend to frequent.

It is of York mint and the moneyer looks to be Heathewulf. It's William's Bonnet type.

The British ones are worth face value - so £0.26 which is about NZ$0.56. I suspect the US cent is also worth face.

Nice Bohemond III piece, Vfox!

Here's one I used to own, if it gives you any more info.

Hi Steffen, welcome to the forum.

This is a penny of Henry II, as you say, but not a shortcross. This is a Cross & Crosslet penny, otherwise known as a 'Tealby' penny due to a huge hoard of them found at Tealby in England.

The moneyer is Turstain and the mint is likely to be Ipswich. Looks to be a variety of Bust C from the portrait.

Hope this helps.

Welcome!

Welcome to the forum.

Larger photos are needed to make a judgement call, I think.

I won a couple

They're on their way to you now! Congratulations and thanks for bidding - I've got more ending this weekend.

Thanks, Art. 20+ listings added this week.

Welcome!

I've listed a mixture on eBay tonight. Rare Singaporean gold, Anglo-Saxon silver and some proof sets: http://www.ebay.com/sch/historiccoinage/m.html

It looks genuine.

The moneyer is Henri and the mint is London. It looks to be a class 5b of King John.

What are VOC coins? I'm always learning, too!

They're coins of the Dutch United East India Company. The VOC is the acronym for the company - Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie.

A belated birthday, m!!

Hope you had a great day and celebrated in true m style.

Happy birthday, George!

Hope you're having a great day!!

The one on the right is an Edward I penny of London. Looks to be a class 3.

Unfortunately these are one of the most common commemorative coins ever produced. In good condition they might fetch £1 or so each.

Looks like an Indian religious token - like this.

Welcome!

i would do a contest of the prettiest coin, where you can only spend par example 10 or 20 cents, and the same with banknotes where you can only spend less than 1 dollar.

I like this idea. Perhaps a round for a coin which you have to buy specifically for PCI and costs next to nothing.

In!
