Where in Krause for 16th century? I thought they only went back to 1600?
I am pretty sure it cannot be a groat on this occasion. Elizabeth 3rd/4th coinage - 1561 to 1577 includes no groats. Size always needs to be taken...
Yes - Elizabeth Threepence seems right by the size. Mintmark is the Eglantine, which was used 1573 to 1578, third and fourth coinage, so that fits...
Wow! You reactivated a 6 year old thread! I never knew I still had a watch on this one.
This one was brought to me in the market today - a nice upgrade for my Edward VII Half Crown sequence: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Talking of which, here is my slightly less good Philip and Mary sixpence dated 1554: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Go for it!
Then as I understand it, the game is over! The poster of the last coin in the sequence is the winner and gets a prize off @lordmarcovan . I would...
We need someone to do 1556 first - them's the rules....

Very nice @Cucumbor but I think we were on 1557 in this thread? :)
I had this one given to me by a grateful customer - 1908 Penny in pretty good shape. Just makes it into my collection as an upgrade: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
... and I was just too late to include this in the "Ireland" topic in follow my leader, so here it is instead. Edward I Penny minted between 1279...
Picked up this one today as an upgrade for my James I Sixpence: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] So nice to get a decent portrait for a change!
... and then these 4 are because I am sure I can find someone who loves them! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Sorry - been shopping again. These first three are for me: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yes there is an odd rough ring at the top. I had thought it was a lug from a possible suspender, but the jewel idea is also possible. Much as I...
I hadn't thought of it being shaved until @Numismat suggested it. I have just checked - weights 9.88gm, which is full whack for a halfpenny, so...
That is a possibility I considered. When I measured it it came out closer to the Halfpenny size than I expected - it feels a lot bigger. Still...
This came in with the most recent haul of random coins and medals. Clearly the Obverse is George II and the reverse is a crucifix and it would...
