Show off your silver pennies!

I'd love to see some of the old English silver pennies. Please reveal the year, what you think it grades, value, and any other relevant details. I'm particular interested in valuations because I'd like to possibly get an example for my collection.

    Ajaan...I gotta ask...how much is that one worth? Also, it looks like it was hard to attribute based on the picture. How could you tell it's from Stephen?

    S-1278 These coins are very crude. Value? in the $500-600 range I wouols guess.

  • A little newer, but I guess they qualify:

    1692 over 1 William and Mary

    I'm guessing F-VF ($50 - $80)

    1800 George III

    VF- XF ? ($15 - $20)

  • I bought this penny a few years ago because of the history surronding it. I love that era of history.
    Henry VIII , Cromwell , Wosely ,Thomas Moore all wrapped up in one coin's history.

    The ex-lordmarcovan, ex-Aethelred specimen of the Watford Type Stephen penny is much better than the one Shroomdude posted. image

    Sadly, certain ex-owners no longer have pictures of it. image

    #1: Richard I (1189-1199). No coins which actually bear Richard's name were struck for England (though a few were struck for English territories in France). The legend on the coin is "HENRICVS REX", but it's Short Cross Class 4a*, Seaby 1348B. Reverse legend: +ROBERD: ON: CAN (Moneyer Roberd of Canterbury mint). Paid AU$295 for it in 2006 from a local dealer.

    #2: Henry III, short cross (issued 1216-1247), Class 7b, Seaby 1356B, obverse the same as previous, reverse +SAMVELONCANT (Moneyer Samuel of Canterbury mint). Paid AU$16.50 for it form a local coin auction back in 1998.

    #3: Henry III, long cross (issued 1247-1272), Class Vb, Seaby 1368, obverse HEIRIQVSREX III (the "N" in Henry seems to be partly missing, and the "C" is "Q" shaped), reverse GIL BER TON CAN (Moneyer Gilbert of Canterbury mint). Better condition example, paid AU$60 for it in the same auction as #2.

    #4: Henry III, long cross (issued 1247-1272), Class IIIa, Seaby 1362, obverse +HENRICUSREXIII, reverse ROG ERO NNE WEC (Moneyer Roger of Newcastle mint). Paid AU$60 for it in 2006 from a local coin show.
