Advert Description
THE 1837 B/RRITANNIAR. SIXPENCE.
SPINK LISTS AS Extremely Rare. S3836
Only 507,000 produced, it's a rare coin in this condition even without the B/RRITANNIAR ERROR.
Someone seems to have been out-on-the-town the night before they finished the die or they could not spell or they had been given their P45, whatever the reason was, they put RRITANNIAR RATHER THAN BRITANNIAR, the error was spotted before to many were struck, the B was later punched over the R hence the error coin. It would seem in the eyes Spink it is, extremely rare. I would rate this one as VF towards EF but your eyes will be your judge, whatever your view, this is a very rare coin, in Britanniar there's a repair to the I and the T and both A's are closed /chocked.
Spink does not give a price but the data below gives a guide line.
Postage is Special Delivery due to the value.
Combind postage is available on all my listings dependant on value.
