heiditan- That's awesome that you found a really cool, uncommon coin. But if you post some pics, we certainly could help you with any questions that you may have.

A very nice milled Elizabeth I sixpence and it poses an interesting question.
Seaby's catalogue SE2597 has a large bust with the crown extending into the lettering at the top.
SE2599 has the right size (smaller) bust and more decorated dress. The cross at the high-point of the crown just below the L of ELIZABETH. But the only date they have is 1567.
So is it a SE2598? Small bust, more decorated dress. But I can't find an image to compare.

heiditan I still think yours is a different (new?) variety. The cross at the top of the crown is near the center at the bottom of the "L". wonghinghi's is similar but the cross is further left and the dress is plain. The one from 24 carat does have the decorated dress but the bust is larger and has nearly lost the cross. Yours:  wonghinghi's  24carat's  |
