1826 6d Laureate Head

Recommended Posts

Just curious about the mintage and surviving population for this coin... I have not been able to locate separate mintage figures for the Laureate Head 6d. So my question is more about the surviving population, interest, rarity and valuation for this coin. Please share your thoughts

I would say rare, especially so in better than VF condition.  I've probably seen about half a dozen or so examples, with only two of those in decent grade.  If you had an UNC example it would possibly fetch £500-£750 (maybe more if there was competition), but having said that sixpences are not the collector's favourite denomination.

Thanks Nick... That's about what I thought

The NGC census has 6 in AU53 or better. The PCGS one has just two. Obviously there will be some raw examples out there so I would extrapolate the population in VF or better to be around 20-25.

As a sixpence collector, I'm still waiting for one of those to come to market.
