I can't read anything. But It seems like there is a ship image and a man standing on it? but it seems like I am looking at the coin like a fortuneteller  :o .

Thanks, Yafet in your direction I just looked at coinarchives and found that my coins in fact :
Liège, bishopric, Henry of Verdun, Denier, 0.9g., struck at Maastricht, (scs s)erva(tvs), bust facing with crozier to left, rev. no legend, building with cross under arch between two towers (Frère 43; Chestret -; hoard report 498), unevenly struck, fine and very rare but rather cruedly made... the rev side has a cross that holds two directional buildings like described... I am vary happy to find out that I got a bargain... I bought this coin for 10 dolars! Frank

The link you provided is not the same as the coin you have posted on this topic.  I believe that Yafet Rasnal is correct in his identification.

thanks... I may be wrong but I just wanted to see if there is a better image of my coin on the web to see clearly what I had in hand. I guess this info is all I can have about my coin... Frank.
