<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3694030, member: 101855&quot;]The only broken coin I would buy would be a Matilda penny. Matilda was the disputed British would-be queen, whom the nobles would not accept as their leader after Henry I died. They chose Stepehen instead, and it resulted in years of civil war.</p><p><br /></p><p>A veteran dealer told me that he once had a Matilda penny that he sold 30 years ago. It was held together with glue, and I&#039;ve since read about other ones that were held together with &quot;museum glue.&quot; The dealer told me he still regrets selling it.</p><p><br /></p><p>During the period from William II (Rufus) to Henry II, alll of the pennies were terrible. I&#039;ve read that England had a shortage of good silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my Henry I penny. After getting $1,000 + quotes for terrible coins, I bougth this ground salvage thing for a lot less. My view is if all of the coins you see are terrible, buy the cheapest terrible coin that is easly identifiable.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]989902[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]989907[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
