Funny thing is, I just looked at mine & it has a crease mark in the same place at the same angle & it about the same condition. Mines a 'Lis' mintmark, can you see yours?

I think mines 2492 in book (pomegranate) yours must be 2508

Re: Mary Groat
I do not remember seeing any Mary coins found, I looked at the picture before I read the post and also thought it is probably somewhat rare. Beautiful bust of Mary, before little sister Elizabeth had it cut off! The Tudor period really stands out in history, maybe because it was the first realm after the medieval period. Henry the VIII was really a tyrant, glad I didn't work for him, LOL. HH, Mike

This a very scarce coin and you don't see them that often this infact is the first I have seen, it books at £125-£400  any way I'm off and running for 2009
Mary groats are great finds, and usualy not as good as yours . p.s had something a bit nice myself today.
