Thanks for the tag @Mark Metzger . My own favourite groat is this Henry VI form the Calais mint: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Surely that would be worth reporting to your postal services in the Netherlands? It must be a local issue - I have sent lots to the Netherlands...
A couple arrived yesterday from auction: Bavaria 3 Kreuser 1736: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Baden Wolfenbuttel Quarter Thaler 1612, with a nice Wildman:...
Thanks for that. I post any interesting paranumismatica here but don't tend to follow much in between as to much of it is too "modern" for me. Oh...
Also got this Evasion or counterfeit halfpenny - amusing to have the date 1771 with the portrait of George II who died more than ten years...
I picked up this one today amongst a bunch of other British coins. I suspect it is a convict or transportation token, although I am not sure how...
A couple of upgrades for me today from the middle of a box full of mostly junk: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
We've already had a 1582 (top of this page from @panzerman ) so play on with your 1581! I have a few more after 1575 - back to 1554 when I am out...

Another upgradepicked up in passing: 1855 Halfpenny. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
...and this is my 1770 Halfpenny, weighing 9.8g and therefore assumed to be regal: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
...oh, and if you are interested in further knowledge on this topic I was recently pointed to this book as the best....
I can't see it would be worth slabbing - the value is in the history, not the quality of the coin. To answer previous queries about weight, the...
I achieved a couple of upgrades at a local auction today: 1907 Edward VII Florin, not scarce but difficult to find in good grades: [ATTACH]...
