[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7845461, member: 10461"]Nice. I always wanted one with the old, fat, scowly Henry on it. The only portrait coin of his I've had was a halfgroat with a younger face. I've also had an Irish harp groat like [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] posted, which I picked up on the cheap. I think [USER=21445]@Mat[/USER] has that one now. [B]Edit-[/B] no, wait- it seems the [USER=21445]@Mat[/USER] and [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] harp groats are one and the same! So it appears that coin has been through the hands of at least [I]four[/I] CT members now: [USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER] > [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] > [USER=21445]@Mat[/USER] > [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER]. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2021-2-24_19-51-35-png.1259286/[/IMG] Cool! As [USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER] is now a brick-and-mortar coin dealer with his own [URL='http://www.wnccoins.com/']shop[/URL] in Western North Carolina, I would speculate that that harp groat came from an old NC collection before he had it. Perhaps he can shed further light on its earlier pedigree, though he has little time to post on the forums these days, alas.[/QUOTE]
