The most iconic British coin of the 20th century!
Over 50 years ago, the legendary Royal Mint struck the last circulating sixpence coin in a historic series that dates back over 450 years to the era shortly after the death of King Henry VIII. The beloved sixpence was one of Britain’s most prized coins and so treasured that it became tradition for the coin to be slipped into a bride’s shoe or hidden in the traditional Christmas pudding as a “good luck” charm. In fact, just a few years after the last coins were struck, sixpences were quickly hoarded by collectors into their private collections and disappeared almost completely! But now, the Danbury Mint is able to offer you the rare opportunity to acquire not just one or two vintage sixpences but a complete collection starting with the final coin issued for King George V in 1936 to the very last coin issued for circulation in 1967.
Every coin in this collection is in good, circulated condition and is preserved in a crystal-clear protective plastic holder that protects it from dust, dirt and fingerprints while allowing you to safely examine its stunning design. You will receive four coins every other month and be charged for two coins per month until your collection is complete. The custom-crafted, faux-leather display chest will be sent at about the same time as your third shipment at no additional charge.

There are no gimmicks or hidden fees. The total cost of an item doesn’t change whether paying in full or in installments. This is simply offered as a convenience to our customers. Please be advised that installments are only available on orders placed with a major credit card.

No, there is no extra cost for paying by installments – this is a convenience that we offer to our customers.
Why do I pay for shipping and service on each installment?
We take the total cost of shipping and service and divide it by the number of installments so that each installment is the same amount. The shipping and service charge is the same whether you pay in full or in installments.
