I thought I found one last month but it ended up being Henry III instead. I am very excited about this coin because I finally found one, and because of its provenance. It is a reference coin in J.P. Mass&#039; Sylloge of the Coins of the British Isles (SCBI) 56, and was part of his personal collection. I would like a copy of SCBI to go with the coin. Unfortunately they are very sought after and command quite high prices. If anyone sees one available for under 150.00, please let me know.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really like the look of this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your medieval coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>John (1199-1216), Penny, class VIa2, London, </p><p>Walter, walter · on · lvn, 1.40g/4h </p><p>(SCBI Mass 1755, <i>this coin; </i>N 974/2; S 1353).</p><p><i>Good fine, dark-toned </i></p><p>From the J.D.
