Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 06/15/2020 2:48 pm Would the hammered experts here take a look at these tiny fellahs and see if it's possible to nail down an ID for each please? Both 10mm at their broadest points. Many thanks. Being discussed in another forum-echizento Report this Post to the Staff

Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 06/16/2020 03:39 am Thanks E, appreciated. They do look similar, but I'm finding it hard to match what little there is of visible legend on my two with the 1474 illustration. I'm pretty sure I see the letters SPI between nine and noon on the obverse of each of mine. These things are so tiny, weigh almost nothing, it's no surprise so many are poorly struck or way off centre. It's also no surprise people lost them so often! Report this Post to the Staff
Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 06/17/2020 04:04 am Spink 1474 is Edward II. Following a bit of research the 'SPI' visible on the obverse suggests these are Henry VIII halfpennies of 1526-44. Can anyone confirm this?

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/17/2020 08:04 am Sorry I meant to say Edward II, which I still believe it to be. You have the coins in hand so you can examine them more closely than we can from just a picture. Report this Post to the Staff
