<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sylvester, post: 15776, member: 708&quot;]Sixpences are one of my collecting passions. I&#039;m actually doing a date set from 1674-1787 (just the London mint variants), i&#039;m missing out all the errors, but i am collecting the over date examples and all the different bust and reverse variants. I&#039;m nearly a third of the way through. (1.7 more coins and i&#039;m 1/3rd of the way through, i currently have 26/82).</p><p><br /></p><p>Why i collect them is interesting in itself, i remember as an impressionable 5 year old when i first sat down with my 1985 Spinks i was looking through and i took a fancy to a Charles II sixpence, i hadn&#039;t been collecting long but i promised myself that one day i&#039;d get just one. Then a few years ago i finally got the chance to get one (i saw it staring up at me through the coin dealers counter... i fulfilled the promise to myself and bang i was hooked), i now have 5 Charles II sixpences... 8 more and i&#039;ll have a full mini set of Charles II ones![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
