[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 3046888, member: 15019"]I picked up my first of such coins just recently, it was among a group of more modern world silver. As I don't own any relevant reference material I am asking for the community's assistance. My research so far leads me to believe it is a groat of Richard III. It measures ~25.5mm and weighs 2.73 grams. Mint mark looks like sun and rose. The coin has a nice gray patina with remnants of luster as well as golden and rainbow toning in some of the protected areas. My iphone pictures don't really do it much justice unfortunately. I'm not sure of the exact variety or sub-type and especially clueless on what it's worth. The prices I have seen for hammered groats are all over the place, from under a hundred to over a few thousand. Greatly appreciate your help! If you ever have questions about world coins from the 18th century and later I will gladly return the favor :) [ATTACH=full]761445[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]761446[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
