<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 7705949, member: 91461&quot;]I&#039;ve been on the hunt for a King John for a bit now. I found a half penny on the cheap that I snatched up quickly. One problem; it was part of a lot of 3 and I don&#039;t know how to tell the difference between a Henry III and a John! As well, it appears that they only identify 2 of the 3 coins.</p><p>The top coin appears to me to be the John under Henry III (from the examples I found on AC search). But again, I don&#039;t know how to tell the difference and am hoping someone that does would be willing to help (alms for the poor, sir<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie30" alt=":bucktooth:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what the auction house had listed and my pics below:</p><p>Group comprising: short cross cut half pennies of John, class 5, Samuel; Henry III, class 7, Samuel and Tomas, all at Canterbury. 1.78 grams total.
