JoeKelly New Member Ireland 2 Posts	Posted 05/11/2021 2:59 pm Hi Can anyone help identify this coin. It appears to be silver, does not stick to a rare earth magnet but seems to slide off quicker than expected, however it's such a small coin it's very difficult to check that way. Weight is near 1.3 grams Be great if someone could identify what it is, if likely a genuine coin and approximate value if anything significant. Thanks in advance.

Gainn Valued Member United Kingdom 218 Posts	Posted 05/11/2021 3:33 pm It appears to be a Henry VIII Silver half groat, Second coinage.. Possibly York Mint. Authenticity wise no idea. Someone with more experience would need to weigh in. Report this Post to the Staff

PNWType Pillar of the Community United States 561 Posts	Posted 05/11/2021 6:29 pm I think Gainn is right. Looks to be Henry VIII Half Groat, York Mint Portrait makes it appear to be York Mint, presence of the Z before the cross of his crown makes it look like first coinage I'm a bit suspect from the surfaces, but these aren't my area of expertise Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: presence of the Z before the cross of his crown makes it look like first coinage Indeed it does. It's not the first (but hopefully the last) time I've got them mixed up. The surface texture gives me pause, but my experience of Henry VIII coins is limited and the only half groat I've owned had been aggressively cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
JoeKelly New Member Ireland 2 Posts	Posted 05/12/2021 09:54 am Thanks all for the feedback and info. I wondered what the symbol was, so its a pansymintmark, thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 05/12/2021 10:35 am You're welcome. Yes, pansy mintmark, and it's the keys under the shield which indicate York. Edited by Hogarth 05/12/2021 10:36 am Report this Post to the Staff
