Coins derive their value from their rarity, condition, visual appeal and - most importantly – the size of their collector base. Our specialists are experienced at assessing preservation and identifying details that distinguish a common coin from a valuable one.
I have coins to sell, what’s the next step?

What happens if I’m not entirely happy with my purchase?
On bullion products the price of goods are linked to underlying metal prices or financial markets and all sales are final, there are no refunds or exchanges. There is no statutory right to return or cancel an order once placed under the Financial Services (Distance Marketing) Regulations 2004 or Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
However, for non-bullion items, should you be unhappy with your purchase or it is in any way not as described we will accept refunds within 14 days of you receiving your item(s). If uncertain about a purchase, we encourage our clients to ask any questions beforehand so as to minimise the time our valuable coins spend in transit.
BG03372
Elizabeth I 1570 Sixpence 7 struck over 0
Elizabeth I (1558-1603), silver Sixpence, third and fourth issue (1561-77), 1570, with 7 struck over 0, crowned bust left, intermediate bust type 4B, rose behind head, Latin legend with linear and beaded circles surrounding both sides, initial mark castle both sides, struck over coronet on the reverse, ELIZABETH: D;G; ANG; FR; ET. HI; REGINA, rev. long cross fourchee over quartered shield of arms, date above, POSVI DEV; AD IVTORE M. MEV; weight 2.54g (N.1997; S.2562). Lightly toned, worn though with a clear date with the unpublished overstrike clear, fair and extremely rare.
The abbreviated Latin legends translate as on the obverse "Elizabeth by the Grace of God, Queen of England France and Ireland," and on the reverse "I have made God my Helper" a Psalm from the Bible.
It would appear the die sinker placed the 0 of the date on the die where the 7 should go, and then had to correct the error with the 7 over the top. There is also a small die raised die flaw connecting the undertype of 0 to the body of the 7. A highly unusual piece.
