<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Omegaraptor, post: 8585790, member: 76105&quot;]So last night I spent the night out and went to bed pretty late. However I did keep in mind there was an auction for an Elizabeth I sixpence I was watching that was going cheap. I placed a bid around $25 right before (admittedly way too late) going to sleep. Woke up to a $15 + shipping win on this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/cJoAAOSwNudjNEVH/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/tTsAAOSw2etjNEVK/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>A few issues but it does have a full planchet. Elizabeth I hammered coinage was heavily clipped and many pieces do not have a full edge. It seems as if this piece managed to escape the clippers.</p><p><br /></p><p>The pheon mintmark dates this one to between 1561 and 1565. Although I will take a closer look at the last digit when I get it in hand I will say that the narrow date seems to match this coin of 1562:</p><p><img src="https://media.numisbids.com/sales/hosted/spink/21118/image03686.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
