NumisMattyUk Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2217 Posts	Posted 11/12/2008 4:19 pm Why is my Halfgroat much smaller than in the book? I know it has something missing around the edges but it is the size of the threefarthings coin which is comparatively much smaller. Is it due to the coin being bent?!...

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 11/12/2008 4:34 pm Bent or clipped who knows. As far as I know all three farthings were dated, the groat half groat and sixpence were not except a very few extremely rare ones. Report this Post to the Staff

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 11/12/2008 5:19 pm OOps I should look at what I type. The sixpences were dated the undated ones are the rare ones the rose behind the head helps to differentiate between the Groat and sixpence as they were similar coins... Common groats and half Groats are not dated.... Report this Post to the Staff
NumisMattyUk Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2217 Posts	Posted 11/12/2008 6:20 pm Yes the lack of a Rose was also getting to me a bit... By the way it is a Penny 1560-61, someone got it on CoinPeople (I could not work it out due to a lack of any photos of QEI Pennies in Spink 2005) Edited by NumisMattyUk 11/12/2008 6:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
