Duncan Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Hi All, A double headed sixpence has come into my possession. It has a convex queens head and a concave one on the other side.it also has a letter of authentication from the mint. Any idea of the value of such a piece. Thank you for any assistance. Quote
PWA 1967 Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Hi Duncan. Have you got a picture please sounds like a Brockage. If not a picture what year is it ?. Quote
Duncan Posted October 21, 2016 Author Posted October 21, 2016 The coin is not actually mine,I believe the year is 1940( will correct later if wrong) i will also obtain a picture but will have to wait a few days for that. Quote
Nordle11 Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Yeah does sound like a brockage. Depending on the condition you can sell it from anywhere between about 70 - 400 quid. There are less buyers out there for error coins, but if you do sell it don't just take the first low ball offer (which you will get), someone will come along. Quote

The year won't be known (it would have been on the reverse). If it has the current Queen's head on it, it will be between 1953 and 1967. Quote
PWA 1967 Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) The royal mint letter would give some details and not just say sixpence. Edited October 21, 2016 by PWA 1967 Quote
Duncan Posted October 21, 2016 Author Posted October 21, 2016 What would be the best way to sell this piece? Quote

VickySilver Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Yes, or PM me with the photo. LOL. I do however collect such ephemera. Most of these are not legit as you know, and have had the "assistance" of a machinist. The letter should be photoed also.... Quote
Duncan Posted October 21, 2016 Author Posted October 21, 2016 Will try and get pic as well as letter and attach on here, my computer skills not great though Quote
