Unfortunately, I slept through the AMCC auction on December 1st because I have a nasty cold. I saw this coin on biddr before the auction and wanted to throw in a bid. After the auction I noticed that the coin had not sold. I contacted @Severus Alexander and today he told me the coin is mine. I already have a coin of Henry V-a penny, but I have wanted a groat of his for some time. Here is my penny And here is my newest acquisition. Thanks to both @Severus Alexander and @TheRed .

I've got a Henery VI groat Didn't mean to crash the thread just fell in love with this hammered coin at first sight. I haven't another...
Coingrats on that Saaweeet new (old) penny. That's class right there folks. Henry V really bridged a gap between Plantagenet and Tudor lines and is one of the primary reasons that we are communicating in the English language right now! My medieval team is woefully understaffed.

Thank you so much. As you can see, it wasn't about the eye appeal on this one. My dad knew how jazzed I was on getting a Henry III and surprised me with the lil doozy last Christmas.
Excellent! Having come of age in the 1980s, I think of Kenneth Branagh's Henry V rather than the classic Laurence Olivier.
It's a very nice coin, and Henry V groats are tough to find. Since I don't have a Henry V, but Richard III came up, here's my RIII penny (never shown before): Durham, SCBC 2169.
I need to get busy and take some pictures. I only have a few photos and you guys are probably getting tired of seeing the same ones.
Congrats on getting the coin @Orfew I'm pleased it is going to you. You have built a really nice collection of medieval English coins. I wish you the best in your quest for Richard III, he is tough to get without spending a lot of money. I'll add a Henry III penny I recently picked up. It was labeled as struck in London, but it's actually an Oxford penny.
Thanks @TheRed It will have a good home with me. I love your Henry III. What an unusual portrait that is.
