Nice piece Jerry. Glad it turned up in the end. My daughter's birthday card arrived 2 weeks late in April. My Nephews is now also 2 weeks late. Both posted 2 weeks in advance of occasion. I wouldn't mind but the distance it's travelling is a mere 38 miles inside the same county (Lancashire) They really are the pits. Stu.

It's screaming class 9b at me. 9b2 maybe. Coinery will know more though i think. Short Cross are more my area of expertise. Stu.

I am skeptical myself that's why i posted it up. Too many people messing about with AI now doctoring images.

The coin has flipped and rotated slightly during striking which has made the legend quite messy. Based on the letter M which you thought was a H I'd say it's Henry III. Probably class 7b. Mint signature ends in a T followed by a stop so i think its it's either Canterbury or Bury St Edmunds. Moneyer is either Simvn or Simvnd I'd say.

Good result. Well done.

First thing i clocked as soon as i saw it. It's in high relief all over. It's what OP says it is in my opinion. Nice find. Stu.

Dublin or Waterford. Those are the two Irish mints for farthings of Edward I. Stu.

I managed to get 3 of the 2023 the first week they were dropped into circulation while on holiday in Filey. I've had one more since & a 5p piece. I'd probably have had more but i use my card for most purchases.

Is there a triangle on the obverse or is it just my eyes ? Could it be...Irish ?

That's a stunning half. As struck. You couldn't ask for a better cut. Great find !

Agreed. That was one of the first things i noticed about it. The full one i bought just arrived today. The portrait is a bit scuffed but i can't complain as it was cheap. Looks like a match with my half. Slevin 1a5 / Brand 1050. Stu.

Another unlisted one. Sadly it's in sold listings on ebay. But worth noting down for reference if you like that sort of thing Reads Her instead of Hen on the obverse. Think its class 1b1 Rodbert at Winchester.

There has been a few halfs on ebay recently that are not listed as Rhuddlan. Sellers are just listing them as Short cross coins with incorrect class details because they are unaware of the mint. Keep an eye out. They seem to be listed as buy it now though so you've got to check regularly or they get snapped up by ppl in the know. Stu.

Good eye Jerry. That didn't even register with me when i looked at it lol. I was reading the D as an E like a divvy. Stu.
