NumisMattic2200 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I think this is quite an interesting Half-Groat of King Henry VI from the Calais mint. I thought it had been clipped but apparently this could be a planchet error?

YeOldeCollector Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Has survived clipping very well, looks more like plough damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldeCollector Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Clipping is when a merchant would clip little pieces off to use as bullion, 'clipping' this chunk off would be noticeable and he'd have a just punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
