George II, Sixpence (Lima) Fine

King George II ruled from 1727 until 1760. During that time they issued two different busts of the King. They are known as the Young Head and the Old Head, but don’t tell the King that. The smallest denomination issued for this Monarch was the Farthing, 4 farthings to the penny and 240 pennies to the Pound. These Old Head coins are almost 300 years old and are in Fine condition, being the smallest denomination they saw considerable circulation and usage. Dates will be of our choice, but the more you order the more different dates we will try and give you.

We found some King George II Old Head Halfpennies (1746-1754) in Very Fine condition. Which considering their age this is a well above-average condition. Dates will be of our choice, but order more than one and we will try and give you different dates. They are struck in copper which is thicker than the later bronze issue and remember they are at least 268 years old!

We bought a group of 62 Queen Victoria Old or Widow Head silver threepences in Extremely Fine condition a higher grade than they normally come in. We bought them from a dealer who spent a number of years putting this group together. Very nice type coins in a higher grade than you would expect to find them in. Dates will be of our choice but the more you order the more different dates we will try and give you.
