Latest 1573 Acorn 6d acquisition

[Coinery]

Nice little win of a superb sixpence. Weak portrait but, to be fair, exaggerated in these auction images…actually much better in-hand…will try and post another image soon.
I did try to look out the images of your 1573 @Rob because it worried me a little bit to find another little-worn acorn coin, but I couldn’t find them to compare the dies.

Here you go. Both different dies. My reverse is over ermine as well.

Brilliant! A relief to find them with different dies. Many thanks for that…that really is a cracking little 6d of yours! Would take some beating, even with a common mark!

Not the best macro shots from my phone, but a doable portrait…for me at least

I am thinking of getting a nice Elizabeth I 6d for my next purchase too. It will be a nice change from milled for me.

You should, before they become unaffordable…they’ve absolutely sky-rocketed in the last 10 years.
