1965 Sixpence

[DaveG38 405]

I am a collector of 20th century varieties, as well as a date collector of milled coinage, and I am having real difficulty finding one of the varieties of the 1965 sixpence. According to Collectors Coins 1998, but not mentioned in the 2007 book, (I am a regular repeat buyer of this excellent publication) there are two pointings for this date - the I of regina either points to a rim bead or points between. I have the one, which points to a rim bead, but have never been able to find one which points between.

I'm not sure if this is because they are pretty rare, or its because dealers are reluctant to check through a mountain of coins of this date, trying to find one, all for a pound or two of profit at most. I have tried some of the less obvious places for coins, like boot fair and antiques fairs, and always its the type I have that turns up.

So any ideas anybody? Or better still, does anybody have a spare of the type I want?

All info gratefully received.

I got only one 1965 and I think it points to bead.

I've also only have the one type. I thought I had got hold of the second one but it turned out that the seller was using a stock picture in his auction.

The one you want is described by Davis as 1c (2503).

this is 2nd A of Gratia to space.

His book was printed 25 years ago and he valued this type at £9 in Unc against 25p for the common issue.

Happy hunting.

Is that the same thing if the I on regina point directly to the second A of gratia follows.

Earlier coin in the series point between bead but the 1964 also but the variety is on 1965.

Any info on where the boundaries of earlier coins end and the I of regina or 2 A of gracia start point to bead dont have the complete series?
