[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 9872713, member: 101855"]I just received this coin from a London dealer. It is Richard II grote or four pence piece. All of these coins were struck at the Tower of London Mint. Richard II coins are generally hard to find because they contained too much silver. Many of them were melted, and most of the survivors are low grade.
