craigy Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Found this little stunner back end of last autumn, lovely little coin, Elizabeth I Halfpenny, not the most common of coins, but not rare. always wanted to find one, some do have a mint mark some like this do not, they also did these during James I reign but his has a Thistle Mint mark 1 Quote
Coinery Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 In bed and can't quite, off the top of my head, remember the chronology of the no-mark HP. The single portcullis punch has been a blessing in determining the the dates of these coins! The portcullis failed so distinctly and was equally repaired in distinctive stages. Quote
Coinery Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 The point I was trying to make is your's may not be a no-mark coin? I can't recall without the book the period of the no-mark, but it would need to be early, as your portcullis is very much intact! Quote

Coinery Posted August 16, 2017 Posted August 16, 2017 They were of course all 6th issue, I just couldn't remember the sequence the PMs were in. The no-mark HP is the earliest in the lineup, occurring instead of the bell PM, so would be right for the complete portcullis punch. I'll get m' coat! ? Quote
