1682 Sixpence

[freewheels 2]

Hi Forum,

I have been interested in Charles 2 sixpences for many years. It seems to me that 1680 and 1682 are the keys. I own a 1680 in NVF but have been unable to find any 1682's. There is one 1682/1 on London coins sales in the last 10 years (which I don't participate in as not UK based but look at for reference) and have seen 1 more 1682/1 somewhere else. Anybody care to weigh in on the unaltered date?

There are three 1682/1s in the DNW archive, the last sold in 2014, but no 1682s listed. There are 5 1680s listed in the same.

One for Jaggy, methinks.

I have a 1682/1 in VF.

Bought from Glendinnings, March 15, 1988.

I don't have a 1680 or 1682 other than the above.

I haven't really researched these years as my focus has been elsewhere.

I have a 1682 - it is pretty worn but it looks to be 1682/1 as well.
