<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25281441, member: 101855&quot;]The only thing I can do is post another Henry III penny that has been cut in half.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1614065[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1614066[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The cross on the reverse of the coin was used as the marker for cutting these coins in half pennies and farthings (one-fourth of a penny). It appears to me that your coin got the short end of the cross cut and that there is another piece of missing metal on left side of the&nbsp; reverse. The piece also has a fair amount of wear. That still doesn&#039;t explain why the piece is as light as it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>One word of caution for those who might like to buy one of these pieces. They are worth a lot less than &quot;full pennies&quot; that are still whole. I bought this one for $20 from a specialist dealer. A complete Henry III sells for $100 or more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
