Would somebody in the Coin Community be able to provide some kind of grade and value to the pictured Henry viii groat? Frank   |

This coin might get better visibility by the experts over in the Ancients/Medieval subforum, or perhaps the UK subforum.
That's a great coin pic, BTW.

How does one post to the Ancients/Medieval subforum or, for that matter, the UK subforum? I don't find it straightforward to make a simple post on any CoinCommunity Forum.

In this case, perhaps you could convince a CCF staff member (mod) to move the thread to one of those two subforums (they do this all the time).

I think a U.S. grading service would put this coin in the low EF range, judging the soft areas due to weakness of strike rather than wear. In particular, the reverse is very strong. I would set a floor at $300. Your coin easily tops the examples in the link that sold at 280 to 350 AUD. This monarch's coins are ever-popular. https://www.coinarchives.com/w/resu...&results=100Edited by tdziemia

I paid 400 GPB's [about US$525] for it. It's not a unreasonable price, though I wish I got it for more of a bargain price as I got my Elizabeth I sixpence (earlier thread) for.

I agree. I think your portrait is as good as the top coin in that coinarchives link (and that buyer had fees on top of the posted price), and I think this is what you pay for with a Henry VIII coin.
I dropped almost as much for a super Henry VII coin a couple of years ago. It was an act of love... my wife has a small collection of Tudor and Stuart monarchs, and wanted to upgrade from a Henry VII half groat.

Super coin, excellent portrait. I've been wanting one of these but they are expensive.

Not my field, but what a handsome example.
