<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2778366, member: 74968&quot;]There was a live auction on Toronto that I wanted to attend but could not. Instead I had to bid online. When I saw this in the catalogue they sent me I could not believe it. 95% of the auction was Canadian coins but there were a few mediaeval sprinkled around. I was the first bidder on the lot. Someone else bid as well but I won the lot for hundreds less than the low estimate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here it is, a Henry VIII penny minted in Canterbury. Apparently Canterbury is a very rare mint for Henry VII. I obviously did my research first when I saw the coin in the catalogue last week and have done some searching online since. There are 2 examples on Coin Archives, and 2 on Acsearch. However they are the same coins, so that makes 2 examples. I found one further example in the CNG archives.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am very excited to add Henry VIII to my historical figures collection.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your hammered coins. I would really like to see them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Great Britain: Henry VIII (1509-47) Silver Penny, Canterbury Mint Mark, S-2350. EF for issue</p><p>[ATTACH=full]642108[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]642095[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
