freewheels Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Hi There, Wanted to get forum members opinion on the rarity (i.e. lack of availability and cost) of the following coins, that seem quite unavailable with an R2 or lower rarity rating: 1682 sixpence sixpence (not the over date), no examples on London Coins auction prices realized in 15 years. 1680 sixpence, 2 examples in 15 years from same source. 1735 Half Crown, handful of examples from same source in last 15 years and only rated scarce in ESC and Bull? Ok I know London coins isn't the reference guide but it seems very hard to locate any of these coins? Also while we are here, any other 17th/18th century coins in same boat? Quote
pokal02 Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 1669 and 1678 crowns are very under-rated. They are at least as rare as 1665 and 1675, the 1669 probably more so. I've seen/heard about only 5 or 6 1669's in 40 years of collecting crowns, and about 10-12 1678's. I've only ever seen/heard of two 1669's above F. 1 Quote
