Sixpence 1870 ESC 1721, Bull 3221, Die Number 2, A/UNC and lustrous with some hairlines, this date very rare in high grades, our archive database stretching back to 2003 confirms this is amongst the finest we have offered. In addition to this, examination of the database shows this is only the second Die Number 2 example we have offered in those 18 years, the other example being in low grade, so this will appeal to date collectors and die number collectors alike
