<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 2409807, member: 74712&quot;]Just received these two items.&nbsp; The first one was a bit of a surprise, as I just put in the opening bid and no one challenged me...&nbsp; I really bid on a whim, but am happy to have another English Monarch penny added to my (as of yet small) set.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]497843[/ATTACH] </p><p>England</p><p>Henry VII, r. 1485-1509 (1494-1501)</p><p>Durham Mint, mm 76b, AR Penny, 14.88mm x 0.6 grams</p><p>Obv.: Henry enthroned facing, holding scepter and globus cruciger, throne pillar on either side surmounted by saltire cross</p><p>Rev.: Coat-of-arms over long cross pattée, mitre above</p><p>Ref.: SCBS 2234</p><p>Ex.
