Edward VII, Half Sovereign 1905 Very Fine

The complete collection of Queen Elizabeth II Sixpences from the Coronation year 1953 until they ceased striking Sixpences for everyday usage in 1967. The Sixpence or Tanner, as it was called, was one of the most liked coins of its day. In fact, it was so well-liked that it was still legal tender till well after decimalization came into effect! You'll get all the dates: 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958. 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966 and 1967. All the scarce and rare dates are included. All coins are struck in cupro-nickel and are in selected circulated condition. There are 15 different dates and you get all 15 of them. Remember that a Sixpence is usually carried by the bride for good luck. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a sixpence in your shoe! Sixpences make wonderful gifts and are an important part of British history!

A new coin in a new denomination is a rare event yet this issue from 2015 seemed to go almost unnoticed. This is the very first UK £50 coin and it also features Britannia standing holding a trident and shield in front of a globe. They were only issued in BU, no proofs exist and the mintage was relatively low at 78,644. We recently bought a group of them in their original Royal Mint packaging and it was the first time we had seen them so we can offer them now for the first time to our customers but we only have 5 pieces available.
