Edward II and Richard II

JCMhouston

A couple of raw pieces arrived today from the UK. Halfpennies in silver, now don't go asking a lot of questions about these because I am new to the world of hammered silver halfpennies, just getting my feet wet with them. Yes, it was like Christmas at my house today. Well, Mrs. JCM wasn't thinking Christmas thoughts as she signed for the packages but I am sure she will get over it.

Edw. II 1307-27, S1472, London mint Class 11:


Richard II 1377-99, S1679, London mint, called the Intermediate style.

Nice pieces from England's past. All my coin mail comes into a post office box that is like 10km from our house, wife only checks it when I am overseas - Mama don't mind what a mama don't see. 'Cept one time she saw my bank statement while I was overseas.
