Title: Overdate Lizzy Post by: staterchaser on August 27, 2012, 07:32:12 PM After 3 months without swinging a coil it was good to be back with the lads again, Ray, Ian & Gavin. Saturday saw us visit another one of Ray's succesful farms and turned up trumps again!
Had this nice lizzy sixpence, but with a difference. It wasnt til I got home and looked under the glass I could see looks as if it was overstamped. The only comparison I could find was the following link on Timeline. http://time-lines.co.uk/rare-overdate-elizabeth-i-tower-mint-1591-0-sixpence-009354-24170-0.html (http://time-lines.co.uk/rare-overdate-elizabeth-i-tower-mint-1591-0-sixpence-009354-24170-0.html) When you see the words rare and scarce you tend to take a bit more notice :-) Anyone come across simular?

And looking at the shape of the 'number ' behind the stamp it could only be 1590
