I didn't know I had photos of these - a bit blurred, but the best I can do as I don't have the coins to hand.

The mint reading NICOL for Lincoln as seen on other issues isn't recorded by Allen, so it's likely that the moneyer is NICOL(E), which would be supported by the initial cross at 6 o'clock. He is recorded as working at Gloucester, Ipswich and Norwich. For Gloucester, it isn't Allen 277, but could be 276 (not illustrated). For Ipswich, all the legends showing the end of the name terminate in an E, so given it looks like the stop of a colon after L, would eliminate Ipswich if the signature is consistent. Norwich could be 663 or 664, but the Allen image is flat in all the parts where yours is struck up and vice versa. It isn't Norwich 665-668 In summary, it looks like one of 3 possibilities. Allen 276 at Gloucester and Norwich 663 or 664. The first two are bust A1 and the last A2, but some detail would have been useful! Sorry, can't do better.

Henry II Tealby coins are much more difficult to pick up in decent condition. I have this one, loosely identified as S1341 or S1342, moneyer and mint uncertain. If anyone can enlighten me further it would be much appreciated:

Yes, I have quite a decent Henry II Short cross too, and I believe Northampton mint, which makes it a bit more unusual:

Ironically, one if the prettiest hammered coins I managed to find was this Henry II short cross coin. I usually find most short cross coins a bit crude or poorly struck. This one caught my attention immediately. Sure it has a few flat areas on the high points, but it's a cracking looking coin in hand. The photos do it no justice.

I don't have a 2 stars penny yet. I'm waiting for one to appear from a scarce/rare mint that is still on my list of wants. I wanted Stewartby's Stafford, but fell a couple bids short. Nice coin that one. If you want a William I, the cheapest option is a PAXS. Thanks to the discovery of 6500 or so at Beaworth in Hampshire in 1833, the previously rarest type was transformed into the commonest type overnight. 95 % of all PAXS pennies are from this hoard. See example below. A bit double struck on the obverse, but presentable.

It's not fake. It's a genuine coin. The 1920-22 issues were struck with manganese in the alloy, it's that metal which accounts for the awful yellowish streaking coins of this era. My Coincraft catalogue stated it was just 1920-22, but I've seen 1923 and 1925 coins in similar condition, so one wonders. They amended the alloy in 1922 to 50/50 silver to copper. It was modified again with the new coinage designs in 1927/8, they added something like zinc or tin to the copper portion, and coins from this point onwards tarnish much nicer imho.

For a Tealby that's a very clear and well struck coin! They are about the worst produced English coins of all time.

Sorry, should be one of three, as I eliminated Allen 277.

True... Especially since the mint has been withdrawing the cupronickel issues and melting them down since 2013. They'll be rarer still.

I love Norman era coinage, this is one of my historical interests so no surprise really. It's always the danger of collecting coinage of this period in that you could pay thousands for an extremely rare type, for a hoard to then come along and crash the price irrevocably. I will pick up the William I and II coins one day. I did get an Henry I some years ago, I can't remember what type it was. It's locked away. I would have more if I could actually specialise, but I've always been a more general collector, and I keep getting distracted! I got a few Watford pennies though. The only one I have a photo of is below, and it's probably the least well struck of those I have.
