  2. Did you find that at birmingham ? If so I am glad I picked the Elizabeth I three farthing coin in that £5 tray it was by far the best thing in there I found it at about 11 am

  3. It could be a 'Hand Heller' or something similar, from the German states. Not a series I know anything about. They do have the sunk in square look on one side, but the cross on the other side doesn't look the same. There could be other types though. But as I say, I know nothing about German/Holy Roman Empire medieval coinage.

  4. There are five types. About 1.5 billion coins struck so most types are excessively common. Type - Edge - Obv. L/I point... / Rev. 1 points... Type 1 - Wire edge - Between / At Type 2 - Flat edge - Between / At Type 3 - Flat edge - At / Between Type 4 - Flat edge - Between / Between Type 5 - Flat edge - At / At Type 1 = 40% of the mintage (All released to circulation). Type 2 = 40% of the mintage (Almost all released to circulation - some issue in 'Farewell to the Florin' first day covers). Type 3 = approx. 20% of the mintage (Released to circulation and also included in all mint/proof sets). Type 4 = < 1% of the mintage (All released to circulation). Type 5 = much less than 1% of the mintage (All released to circulation). The first 3 types are excessively common, ubiquitous you could say. But also, as they were the first types out when the 10p was shrunk, a fair few were put on side by people who kept the new coins. Type 1 and 2 can be got in UNC with some effort to find, they're not too common in mint state. Type 3 is readily available in BU, nothing rare there. Type 4 and 5, as pictured in my first post, can be found in change with a lot of searching. They are out there, but the highest graded Type 4s (Between/Between) I've found were VF grade and the highest Type 5s (At/At) were EF. I don't think they exist in UNC any more.

  5. It's probably a Pfennig or Heller from the German states. Bavaria , Austria etc. The Square in the middle would of had a shield / coat of arms for the area it was struck in.

  6. The first picture looks like the reverse of a King Stephen 'Watford' type penny. Cross Moline is the official designation. Struck in the 1130s-40s.
