dyan New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/23/2015 2:04 pm You can not see it very well in the picture but the die#6 has a loop under it. The grading company would not call it an error. Any thoughts?...Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

It also appears that for this coin die 6 over a lower 6 is normal hence the loop under the die number. Also FYI these coins were for use in Cyprus. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chip in, if not try the Predecimal Forum http://www.predecimal.com/forum/ Report this Post to the Staff
dyan New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/25/2015 12:21 pm Thanks for the input. I'm not an expert on sixpence, but I have not seen a 6 without the DR. I thought it was interesting-so I had it graded. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 06/26/2015 04:40 am Is there a reference that lists which die numbers are known for each date ? Disappointingly, English Silver Coinage lists only the highest die number known. Report this Post to the Staff
