I ordered a Henry V 1413-22 groat and a Philip & Mary 1554-58 shilling. Text

python, the link won't let me in. Maybe it's for the best, I'd just get jealous.

Ajaan, I think it's fixed.

I LOVE that Philip and Mary shilling. One of these days I'll own one, one of these days.

Love them both! But I really like that Henry V Groat!

Nice coins, Python.

I'm afraid to reveal my ignorance, but I'd forgotten about King Philip of Spain marrying into the British line. Could someone please refresh my memory of that? It wasn't too long after that that Queen Elizabeth refused to marry the Spanish king, and later defeated the Spanish Armada.

I guess this whole inbreeding thing would have been avoided if the royals had deigned to marry commoners.

excellent additions. The Philip and Mary Shillings are tough.

Some great old hammered coins.

Michael, you weren't the only one that liked the groat because there was a mixup and it was sold.

Oh well
the shilling is on the way and that's the one I cared most about.
