60th Birthday

 The 1949 Birthyear Sixpence.  

"Lucky Tanner" 

1949 was the first year British coins were minted without the old " Ind. Imp. " in the lettering. The Empire had gone. Historical year !!!

A good old  Sixpenny Bit  on little card as described below plus a printed History card.  You will probably find the Year card is as important to the Birthday Boy or Girl as the Lucky Sixpence. -- Memories !!! What a wonderful, unusual, but traditional and extra special gift and Birthyear reminder.   In nice collectable condition for the year. For the very special 65th Birthday or just for luck.!!! (Sixpences were regarded as lucky historically).   Collectable. A reminder of a special year. The sixpence is set on a printed card inside a 2"x 2" P.V.C collecting pouch. The pouch has peelable adhesive on the reverse so it can be attached. Usually inside a Birthday card of your own choice as a really nice surprise extra gift !!!  This coin minted by Royal Mint. (When money was money) The sixpence has been regarded as Lucky for hundreds of years. So much so that in 1967 when we went over to the pretend money ! We had S.O.S stickers on our cars.     "SAVE OUR SIXPENCE"  That popular !!!       

A brief History of the sixpence :- The sixpence was first introduced 1551.  It quickly became a very popular coin.  Silver has always been regarded as "lucky" And had the power to keep evil spirits and suchlike away. Particularily in times of importance in peoples lives. Birthdays, Weddings particularily, Christmas (Sixpence in the Christmas pud', New Year, Halloween, Births etc. etc..  At times of Marraige for example it was customary for the Lord of the Manor to give the Bride from the Estate a SILVER present. This became the traditional custom of giving the Bride a SILVER sixpence for her Slipper to wear on her Wedding Day. Sixpences were minted in Fine Silver, changing to .500 fine in 1920 and to Cupro Nickel in 1947. They were then minted and in general circulation until that dreaded day in 1967.

Low start and low post and package. The buyer will receive this coin or one in similar/better condition. I am a collector and  gaurantee that the coins are as described and authentic. Should there be a genuine doubt on receipt I will refund monies plus return postage. If paying by cheque the coin will be sent immediatly on receipt. No waiting for clearance. (Please remember that scans  Rarely do a coin any justice myne are High res. and show all...)Normal dispatch -- Following business day after receipt of payment.--- always within 2 days --- Cert. of post always obtained.   

Some 1949 Historical Facts.  I will print some more and send with the coin. (Now printed on postcard size card... I have received really good response from buyers.)
