"I was cranking over the engin

"I was cranking over the engine with the ht lead disconected from the distributor,but due to my 'inexperience' didn't disconect the appropriate wires & noticed 'sparking' coming from the coil terminals,when I tried to start up again I couldn't get a spark from a sparkplug whilst connected to the coil ht lead & grounded,have I damaged the coil or the ignition amplifyer?"
