Does anyone on here collect British sixpences, other than me?

    Ah! Ummmmmm! Obviously, these aren't quite to scale. image

    Keep 'em coming Syl. I fear I will be thoroughly poor by the time I've done Charles II to E2 completely by type....but, what's the rush! image Mac

    I have a CD by 'Sixpence None the Richer'. Does that count? In my Monarch set I have sixpences of William III, Anne, George II, and William IIII.

    Painful! tell me about it...

    Those are some nice sixpences you've got there! I particularly like the William III but i'm afraid it's a weakness with me that period.

    You think you've got problems with a Charles II - Elizabeth II type set! (I had one of those near complete but for James II, Anne pre-Union and Victoria Young Head), i've sold all my post Victoria ones off cos i'm concentrating on a date set from 1674-1787 which includes all overdates, obverses and all reverses... (errors, upside down 3's, and non-London mint ones are excluded).

    In fact this coin is just about to put an hole in my bank balance... (i managed to sell an extra coin and bag this whilst i got the chance!) The grade is a little lower than i hoped for (just a tad), but when it's this date it's not something to be picky about...

    I am getting close to a full run of UNCs 1902-1970. The Victorian era presents a rather more difficult challenge.

    I had alot of the 1901-1970s myself... alright about a third to half of a full set all in UNC/BU, i sold all of those to fund my Early milled collection.

    Here i have a few up for trade... anyone who's interested in some decent late milled Georgian/Williamian sixpences (and a king John penny of all things) then see here... (i'll ship to most places)
