    If you are looking for a great sixpence folder Cambridgeshire Coins has these:

    That's a rather bizarre period for a folder to cover. 1872 isn't the first year of the second head issue, is a random 95 years before they stopped striking this denomination and an even more random 321 years since the denomination was introduced with the fine silver of Edward VI.

    Has 96 holes so that may have been the most they could put in the album.

    So here is possibly the second rarest of the Victoria sixpences, the 1854. For some reason my iPhone 11S takes really crappy pictures and although this is somewhat darkly toned is perhaps as nice as you will find, ex-Cheshire (I probably should post this in the coins from famous collections post). tempImage4BnJoc.png tempImageexYZBh.png

    Beats having 2-3 small Whitman Folders though. Hopefully they make an album pre 1871.

    The pre-1871 can be bears: the 1848s, the 1854, 1862,1863, and well the 1869 (but in grades higher than you would want to put in the folder).
