I'd pay ten times the average coin value in the lot. You choose if the value is the retail price or the usual dealer offer or some other value....
It does bear some resemblence to a short cross penny with a facing portrait on the obverse,a proper mediaeval man should be able to spot it. I'm...
I wonder how many wives or sheep that would buy you back in the Dark Ages?
It is Britain, not Brittan. There seem to be more die varieties of this coin than there are coins, almost. You need someone with Freeman's book...
