<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 1793104, member: 40017&quot;]I recently acquired this as a Richard III penny - to fill one of the last gaps in my line of British Monarchs.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]289742[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The S below the bust identifies it as minted by Bishop Sherwood of Durham, but he also had coins under Henry VII, Richard&#039;s nemesis! It comes down to the very indistinct mintmark above the crown - if it is a Lis, it is Richard, if it is a plain cross it is Henry. Any thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
