i found a coin think it’s from 1642 civil war called a annulet sixpence can find very little information on the Internet. Is it rare? Is the coin worth anything? Can u supply us with more information on this coin?

Hi Enda,
Yes, a 1642 annulet sixpence is valuable.
Do not clean it or try to improve its appearance in any way – this will almost certainly reduce its value.
If you take a photo (or scan) your coin on both sides, you can send the images to me at
old.currency.exchange@gmail.com for a initial appraisal.
