Is this right???

A Silver, voided-cross Penny or rather, two halves of completely different grades?

 

Penny my ass

 

 

Can someone explain to me why this forum's URL link function doesn't work or at least doesn't work most of the time I use it?

It technically is a penny, I could go to the shops today with 2 £1 coins and that would be £2. Although the coin is not the same penny it would have been worth a penny in Henry's time.

 

But I see your point, not worth more than 50p in my opinion as there's nothing rare there!

The on on the left is Gloucester mint and the one on the right is London.

I agree it makes a Penny, however technically if you walked into a shop and paid two pounds for something in two one pound coins you'd be saying that you've paid for that with a two pound coin.

 

- something is wrong with that picture to me..

 

Thanks for pointing out it's actually two different mints..

I have several dozens of cut farthings and halves that I could make up pennies all day from if I got the super glue out. Sometime I will get them out of the bank and photograph the English ones. For now you can see the Scots:

 

 

Mostly William I of Scotland.
