A lovely tribute piece, struck to coincide with Queen Victoria of Great Britain's 60th anniversary as Queen.

The only example of the type we have seen and obviously very rare.

Purchased on 12/10/2015.
In a generation 4 PCGS old green holder used from Jan 1990 through mid-1995.
Ex: Elizabeth MacPhail Charters (b. 1916 - d. 2012) Collection.
Mintage: 7,997,000
Combined populations in MS65 at NGC and PCGS of 18 coins, with 7 graded higher in MS66 (4 NGC and 3 PCGS). While a relatively common coin, this is not a common coin in gem condition with superb toning. I've not seen a more eye appealing old-head sixpence of any date.
