WAu-7311:
Henry VIII
Hammered Gold Crown of the Double Rose.
Third coinage, initial mark none / WS monogram, 1544-47,
WTH-7947:
Henry VIII
Hammered Silver Testoon. HENRIC 8 type, Tower mint, 1544-7, initial
mark Pellet in Annulet, Spink 2365. The
first shilling struck under Henry VIII, coming at the very start of the
"open debasement" period. A
shocking issue, being progressively debased by 30%, followed quickly by another
30%, all within the short third period coinage.
A small purse loss of these coins was discovered melted; fused together
as a result of the Great Fire of London.

2nd Issue:
WTH-7976: Henry VIII Hammered Silver Tudor Groat - Laker Bust B. Second coinage, initial mark Rose (Henry's symbol; the Mary Rose was Henry VIII's flagship), 1526-44. The crown is within the inner circle and indeed does not reach it - the much rarer Laker Bust B. Spink 2337D. I have had dozens and dozens of Henry VIII Later Bust D coins over the years and very few, if any, of the other types. As such, because I'd had no reason to ever look it up, I hadn't quite appreciated how ridiculous the Spink pricing was / is / will no doubt continue to be. How Laker Bust B can be virtually on a par with Laker Bust D in terms of pricing, according to Spink at least, is the very definition of incredulity. Ex Tim Owen. £945
