I am really enjoying exploring Early Milled. When I think of how long I put it off for... Don't make the same mistake as me - get stuck in!
Sixpences are somewhat scarcer than the equivalent Shillings from the 1787 issue. It turns out that the missing hearts are an accidental omission, rather than a designed omission. 40 years collecting and I'm still learning new things :)
I spent a good ten minutes exploring this one with a loupe, trying to find some evidence of wear, but I really struggled. Each leaf vein is still sharp, the hairlines go right to the end of each curl, but it does have slight discolouration that, if anything, the photo exaggerates.
Crisp, clear, and breathtakingly beautiful. Like a spring morning. Coins of this quality really do make life better.
You can identify Reverse A by the single incuse line on the saltire (St. Andrew's Cross on the shield). The line is raised on Rev B.
Obverse 1 with close colons. ...close colons are slightly tilted.
Fascinating story to these: Specially designed for the collection plates of West Indian churches, into which god-fearing folk considered it terrifically bad form to put copper coinage. Being a quarter of a Spanish real, it became known as the Christian Quattie.
Nice strong example of what is fast becoming my favourite series. I just love the weight of 'em, and the surface texture, when they're this good.
Although minted with the Colonies in mind, these did circulate in Great Britain, but not for long. Even in 1844 there wasn't much you could buy for 1/1920th of a Pound. This one has a slight titled E in REG, for those who like their microvarieties. I know I do.
Although listed in Peck and in Bramah, the Ornamental trident variety with the close colon has, inexplicably, never been listed in Spink.
