How much is the 1963, 1964 Irish 6 pence coin with the dog worth in Unc cond.? I have about 20 of them.
Modern Irish coins have always been popular with British Commonwealth numismatists.I do collect them myself. Aidan.
Here's one ... with a fingerprint though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Irish_sixpence_coin.png Christian
John,modern Irish coins are graded according to the British Commonwealth (7 point) grading system,but they are notoriously difficult to grade,as there is often weak striking on the obverse,especially in the centre of the harp strings. Aidan.
I dont have the dog, I have rabbit, pig and bull...havent photographed them yet though. I plan to get one of each animal in the end.
Drusus,don't forget that some animals also reappear on the 1st. Decimal coins.For example,the woodcock,which is depicted on the Farthing,also appears on the 50 Pence coin as well.The stag is the odd one out,as it only appears on the 1 Pound coin,plus on 2 Irish ECU medal-coins as well. Aidan.
