YeOldeCollector 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Elizabeth I Sixpence. Scarce 'large flan' type of 1561. m.m. pheon. Large bust with hair swept back and rose behind. I am of the opinion that the obverse is better than the example shown in Spink 2009, #2559. The coin really does look much better in hand, especially when it catches the light. These are much scarcer compared to their smaller counterparts. Not often do you see these with no clipping either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thedeadpoint 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Great strike, well centered. How thick is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YeOldeCollector 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Many thanks guys. It is one of the best large flan sixpences I've seen, very well struck for a Lizzie coin too. It is about 0.4 mm thick and pretty much dead-straight which is good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Things will improve, you will soon get a bargain of some sort. The coin above was a bargain that I came across by waiting and searching. Don't give up, you'll soon find something.
