1965 Sixpence Different OBV to 3+4 listed

Recommended Posts

Have a butchers at this 1965 Sixpence. Looking in both Davies & Grooms books they identify Obv 3 with I of regina pointing to space and the 2nd A of GRATIA Also pointing to a space. This is different With the A pointing to a border tooth and not a space. New variety?

Somebody is having a laugh, either at the mint in 1965, or post mint in a shed somewhere. The obverse is the 1953 one with BRITT OMN. Where is the coin? If on ebay, then someone is probably pulling a fast one. If you have it, then you should be able to check for a join where one side has been dropped into the other (probably the obv looking at the beading). If on ebay for a quid, then buy it and satisfy your curiosity.

It aint right whatever

It's too much money for my blood tin of catfood I could get for the 38p :ph34r: . I'll get it just for curiosities sake. If it turns out to be legit i'll mention you in my memoirs lols :lol:

Changed my mind it's £1.65 I went to get it but it was part of a multiple sale . I do not want to get lumbered with a shed load of 1965's lol to go with the shed load already

£1.65 is less than a pint. It's hardly going to break the bank. Most people pee that money away on a daily basis.

Forget it. The other years advertised from him also use the 1953 obverse, so you can have a full date run with the wrong obverse - not. I guarantee you won't receive what is pictured. He probably sold a 1953 at some time.

He uses the same obverse pic for his 1954 sixpence lots, I really wouldn’t get too excited about rare die combinations here, just look at the information available.
