1884 6d

As per your request old bean.

Sixpences seem to be going for way below list at the moment. Just seems that they are not flavour of the month.

[Peter]

I liked 6d's but when you get to the late 1600's phew.

I've got most back to 1900 and a few examples of earlier but they don't do it for me.

They are not as attractive as farthings...are they? and you get 24 farthings for a 6d.

All grades or just the best ones? The market is still absorbing Bole's collection with relatively few collectors interested in the denomination.

[Peter]

Maybe Spink is a bit too hot for the 6d.A coin will always find its level.

A good time to buy maybe?We have 1/4d ,1/2d,1d,1/-,2/6 and hammered collectors on here.No tanner boys a scrap 6d going for 40x face is only £1.

although the royal mint will sell you a tatty post 1920 for £20.

OK we have the 1952 and 1893 JH but what other rare dates are there?

1827, 1836, 1848, 1854, 1862, 1863, 1867-1870, 1876, 1879 with die number. There are also a number of varieties that are very scarce or rare.

Pity - I really like em.But I agree, they are a bit on the small side.

Not even remotely rare except in top grade. I was lucky enough to get a complete set of BU 6ds from 1937-1967 for £60 (W&W late 90s) including the 1952. I think I sold most of them ... except the '52 of course

I didn't even know of a sixpence collector until the DNW dispersal of Boles collection. It was probably as an exstensive collection of Sixpences that will ever be seen, but I think the hammer prices reflected the relatively unpopular position of the denomination amongst both general and speciallist collectors. If some of his rarities were in the Crown, Halfcrown, Penny series we may have seen world record GB prices set (eg off metal including gold examples).

Oi !, I collect tanners and thruppences and shillings. Then anything else.

With all due respect, Alfred Bole was a collector. You, unfortunately, fall into the same category as 99.9% of us on here, ie you have a collection that includes some. A collector at Boles level will stop at nothing to obtain a missing variety and money seems to be no object.

As a dealer I can probably comment with some degree of knowledge (as did Derek and Rob) on the popularity of Sixpences. They AREN'T!

How times have changed! I remember in the late 60s, the humble tanner was a popular denomination. You can see its decline with the ratio that the 1923 6d holds in relation to its peers. While the 1924, 1925, 1926 halfcrown & florin, H & KN & ME pennies, have kept their ratio to commoner types in values, the 1923 6d has gradually dwindled.

1976 Seaby : most surrounding dates worth £5 in EF, 1923 = £16.50

2005 Spink : other dates between £12 to £15 in EF, 1923 = £20.

What were the Seaby 1976 prices (UNC) for the rare years mentioned earlier in the thread?

Unfortunately, Seabys only listed up to EF back then, except post-1937. It did give the usual caveat - preserved by Spink - "Prices for strictly UNC specimens may be considerably higher".
