<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2935274, member: 10461&quot;]I&#039;m going to PM you a link to where the QE1 sixpence is for sale.&nbsp; Like you, I think it&#039;s a great grab at the price, but I&#039;m going to hold out for a better example, when funds permit.&nbsp; So have at it, if you like.&nbsp; LMK if you buy it.&nbsp; I think you should.&nbsp; I was, as mentioned, quite tempted, because I&#039;m a sucker for that sort of grey toning and I think the portrait is decent on that one, despite the moderate wear.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3">(PS- if understand correctly that you have a bride who might be willing to put a sixpence in her shoe, as per the proverb, I&#039;d go with an Elizabeth the <i>Second</i> coin, or perhaps a Victorian silver one.&nbsp; I&#039;d be scared to have even a dainty bride step on a 400-year-old hammered coin, for fear of breaking it!) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie67" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I&#039;ll find a 1565-dated coin.&nbsp; I&#039;m a &#039;65 model from a different century, so getting something from 400 years before my birthyear would be fun, particularly if I can nail one with the right look.&nbsp; (In other words, like this one, with the grey toning and a good portrait, but higher grade, and dated 1565.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Still considering the Pomerania-Stettin griffin and the o/c error coin, but I&#039;ve also been talking behind the scenes with a fellow CT member about one of <i>his</i> coins, which I might make a move on instead.&nbsp; I&#039;ll post pics of that here if he approves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
