<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 8288429, member: 78719&quot;]1869 was a stellar year for British coins with rarities in some series, and in particular the well-known Penny which deservedly brings interest nowadays when it comes up to auction in the mid- or better grade uncirculated grades.</p><p>Other denominations are actually scarcer that many probably realize in the MS 63 range and above including the halfpenny, the florin and even the shilling.</p><p>However in top grades of gem or better (MS 65) the 1869 sixpence with its rather droll reverse design is extremely scarce. It should be noted that the population in 65 at PCGS is TWO with ZERO graded as such at NGC.</p><p>The famous (for sixpences that is) Alfred Bole Sale at DNW in 2010 had two currency 6 pence and one proof - the latter unknown other than this sale. There was also a palladium Graham pattern. </p><p>Here is the finer of the currency 6d (sixpences) from that sale &amp; I apologise for the poor photo quality. Of note I will post pictures one the True View are available from PCGS:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1464821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1464822[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
