Sylvester's done it again...

I think this has got to be one of the nicest Short Cross pennies i've ever seen. I always find Short Cross pennies amusing, i mean look at the expression on the king's face! Looks like he's just seen a US coin catalogue that doesn't mention Morgan Dollars.

This one's for the monarch collection, this is a new monarch and a new mint for me.

Henry II Class 1b, GOCELM ON WINC (Gocelm of Winchester).

Sylvester would have a stroke if I told him I had my Henry II slabbed:

NGC EF-45, Turkil on York:

Sylvestius

That is a funny expression:

The photos are being awkward! (It won't show the pictures from cointalk because i think there's a block on, like there is on coinpeople).

I did link direct to them from omnicoin, but the photos disappeared when that went down for maintanance, so try it this way;

Looks like Beckett still got the last laugh;

Pope - "Yes Henry, it was bad form killing an archbishop like that, you must do penance for your sins... crack the whips out chaps...



Matilda (Henry's mother) - "I told you Beckett was a bad choice for Archbishop of Canterbury, did you listen? No! Does anyone ever listen to me? No! I could have been Queen once..."

Sylvestius
