Henry IV 1399-1413 How can they create a GROAT which is nearly perfectly round in 1412 ? Has anyone seen another full weight groat 0f 60grs of this period ? What is the after POSVI on the reverse, like a small cross ? Does anyone have any opinions on this coin ? It is Henry IV it has a Annulet to left and Pellet to right of crown Latest Story: A friend of mine is sitting in the Irish Pub having a drink, telling all us friends that he has a new baby boy, eberybody very happy and buying him drinks.

looks like a forgery, if it is real then it is the best one i have ever seen without any clipping whatsover and could be worth mega bucks, but i think it is a fake....
Dear moneyer12 Thanks for your thoughts, if u have one can u share details with me - what period are u collecting? Regards Jeff info@petitioncrown.com www.petitioncrown.com The coin was ExBrady/Spinks in 2011 Spink 101 Nov 1993 (90) Description of the above coin: Henry IV 1399-1413 Light coinage, 1412-13 Groat above. No Heavy Coinage Groats are known. 3.89g, 60.03 grains, class II(a), (PII), London, m.m. cross pattée, legend ends FRANC, annulet to left and pellet to right of crown, ten arches to tressure, rev. slipped trefoil after POSVI, reverse barred Ns (N.1359a; S.1727; Potter 2, 2/2 [Pl. viii,6]; Stewartby p.323, PII), an unusually well struck full round coin, N. extra fine, extremely rare in this condition
Hi moneyer12 Having said that it was poissibly a fake, what are the indicators that you see to show that it is one. I noted it could be you have seen a forgery or have details how to recognise one Look forward to your rely
The Groat was sold at the Brady Sale in Spinks Auction @19'000 ukp + commission. Taking my view that every coin purchased is like buying a new car and it losses value once you have taken delivery, you are looking at 13'000 ukp Still researching Henry IV Groats Any help will be appreciated.
