I picked up this Henry VI penny this morning. It's the Cross-pellet issue minted 1454-60. Text

    I don't know where my post went, but I thought I just posted to this thread.image

    I said "nice penny, most of these later pennies are not so nice."

    Then I inserted a photo of the coin in question:

    BS, you really should invest in a metal detector and spend some time in UK fields.
    Here is a Henry VI half Groat dug in September.
    It is sadly clipped, but a lovely sharp coin.

    You know what is sad? I am happy finding a Lincoln cent on the street, much less dig a 15th century penny out of the ground.

    Stupid young country!

    Iknow what you mean...I was esctatic for 3 days when I found a 1964 dime in my change a couple weeks ago!! It was older than me, so by definition it's old.

    A coin (like the actual topic of the thread) is so impressive in terms of history and it never ceases to amaze me how these little bitty things have survived. Absolutely cool!
