KLD Pillar of the Community Australia 1079 Posts	Posted 03/29/2006 05:23 am I always thought half pennies were cut pennies. Or did they only do this during a special period? Edited by KLD 03/29/2006 05:26 am Report this Post to the Staff

Ætheling Valued Member United Kingdom 438 Posts	Posted 03/29/2006 08:42 am From the 900s up until 1279 half pennies were generally cut coins, as were farthings. Although some extremely rare halfpennies/farthings are know to exist of a few issues notably of Henry II and III. But it appears they weren't issued in any great number, or if they were then very few have survived. In 1279 with the recoinage round halfpennies and farthings were introduced (or reintroduced since they had existed sporadically prior to the mid-900s), and from then onwards there were three coins of the realm. 1d, 1/2d & 1/4d. In the 1330s they were joined by groats (4d) and halfgroats (2d), along with gold coins valued at 80d, 40d & 20d respectively. Report this Post to the Staff

habiru001 Valued Member United States 236 Posts	Posted 04/02/2006 9:47 pm Well Sir Simon must have the same Coins of England by Spink that I have. However, I notice one distinctive difference I think worth noting and that is that No groats were issued by Edward thre 11 during his reign of 1307=1327 There are several varieties of your Groat- It also should weigh 89 grains.(Standard weight)of his groats. The varieties of your coin have a broad face, a long face, a slimj face or long narrow face. While may not be import to you- It is a definite Identifying factor so far as variety goes. So you talk about variety-- I wonder about those collectors back in his time. They must have had a field day, collecting all these faces. Knight XXVIII Report this Post to the Staff
