    Pity about the hole in the 1854 sixpence. It is one of the rarest years for Victorian sixpences. Spink 2011 prices them at £150 in fine condition, rising to £1750 in UNC. Nick, thank you for your reply. it is really appreciated, I think I will hold onto them for a while for sentimental reasons, if there is anything I can do for you please feel free to ask. I think this inheritance may hav=ve made a new collector, much to wifes annoyance, are you into anything in particular in relation to pre decimal coins? I have been reading up on coins and did not realise there true significance apart from there value! Thanks again!

    An inverted die axis is normal for these issues. It is only from 1887 onwards that coins are consistently struck with an upright (en-medaille) die axis. Thank you very much for your reply, it is greatly appreciated!
  4. I have just inherited a collection of British coins, I have discovered two sixpence pieces with the Heads showing upside down to the rear pattern, dated, 1854 and 1874, both have the obverse with a Crown, the words Six Pence and what looks like Laurel and oak wreath. The 1854 Sixpence looks to have been drilled to make a charm and then refilled with either silver or solder. Both coins look very good for there age. I would not mind a valuation, however, due to circumstances I would like to keep hold of them....
