Identification help

Firstly, apologies for the pictures being out of order, I'm not sure why reddit did that. Secondly, I have 6 medieval/ post-medieval coins that I would appreciate any help with identifying. Firstly:

Coin A: I believe to be a half groat of Edward II/III, however, I am unsure which. Weight: 1.02g, diameter: 1.9cm.

B: I believe to also be a half groat of an Edward from the London mint. Weight: 0.91g, diameter: 1.9cm

C: I think is a half groat of Elizabeth I. Weight: 0.58g, D: 1.5cm.

D: I think is a penny of Henry 7th, weighing 0.6g, D: 1.4cm.

E: I have no idea, weight: 0.34g, D: 1.7cm.

F: Also not much of an idea, weight: 0.36g, D: 1.15cm.

Any help on monarch, mint, denomination, etc, would be greatly appreciated. As well, if possible, to provide a Spink code and/or a Numista listing would be greatly appreciated. I've tried for a few hours to identify these but haven't gotten very far. Thanks for any help.

Apistogramma borellii query

Hello, I have a 60l tank, heavily planted, along with areas of rocks and drift wood to the sides of the tank, with the middle primarily consisting of tanks. My tank currently houses 12 pygmy cory, along with 3 amano shrimp, mts and bladder snails. I was wondering if a borellii would suit this tank or not? Especially considering that pygmy cory also spend much time at the bottom and I wouldn't want to stress them out. And so I was wondering if it was possible to keep a single male borellii (and some fish that stay towards the top of the tank). Or if instead I'd be better looking at a honey gourami.

​

Thanks in advance for any help, I'm very new to apistogramma

Another pair from the Danish West Indies.

Just got my 20 francs/4 daler from the Danish West Indies back from grading. A solid MS64 from PCGS. I think it’s my favourite 20 francs in the LMU standard.

Very low KH and GH measurements of tank

Hello, I have a tank that I'm currently cycling, I've been dosing with Dr tims ammonia, and my ammonia seems to be going from 2ppm to 0 in less than 24 hours. My tank is planted and has bladder and malaysian trumpet snails. However my pH has been fluctuating between 7 and 6. My pH is currently at 6, and I'm worried about my snails, I have therefore tested my KH (only one drop added made it become yellow), and GH (3 drops for colour change to occur). I have used the API liquid test kit.

I'm worried about the effects these low values will have on a stable pH, and on my snails. Should I try to increase these parameters? If so how shall I go about it as I'm quite lost? Thank you

These 10 coins just arrived today, some are almost completely intelligible, but a couple seem quite nice. Spent £32, so think I did alright. Now it's time for me to start identifying!

First tank, cycling question

Hello, I'm not sure if I'm over thinking it or if it is taking a long time to cycle. And so I wanted advice on if my tank is cycled yet. For an ammonia source I've been adding food (admittedly not as frequently as I probably should), and my tank also contains MTS and bladder snails which are of course to some degree producers of ammonia. I have previously seen my ammonia spike and thrn fall again but only to around 0.5ppm. Ive also previously seen nitrite go up to about 0.2ppm, and then nitrate go ever so slightly orange. However, as can be seen the readings are pretty much at 0ppm. I've had the tank running for almost 2 months now, but haven't seen any major spikes for any chemicals, with testing around every other day. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a 60l/15 gal. I'm hoping for honey gourami, pygmy cory, and CPDs. My filter is a tidal 35 from seachem. I've also been dosing with seachem stability and some pristine. Ive also been doing weekly water changes of 15l (I'll be doing a water changes today). Thank you

East Caribbean States, 1 Cent, 2008

This is a 2008, East Caribbean 1 cent. It is composed of aluminium and my example weighs 0.97g. The obverse feature Queen Elizabeth II, and the reverse the denomination. This coin is a very interesting example of colonial currency, as it is both colonial and non-colonial. This is because the East Caribbean Currency Union (that use these coins) is made up of 8 states. Six of the states are independent: Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The other two, Anguilla and Montserrat, are British overseas territories. And thus this coin is used by both those that live in independence, and those that live in the remnants of the British Empire.

1894A German New Guinea Mark

German New Guinea was a German colonial possession in the northeastern part of New Guinea and nearby Pacific islands from 1884 until Australian occupation during WWI in 1914.

The colony was initially administered by the German New Guinea Company, a chartered trading company that sought to profit from plantations and trade, but financial problems led the German government to take direct control in 1899.

This is probably my all time favourite German Empire design, really cant beat the incredible obverse.
