Number 2, not only for the fact it's scarce but what Sierra Leone and the company stood for - pioneering the way for the freedom of slaves and also the first colony adopting the decimal system.
ALSO SEE THE LINKS FOR BETTER PICTURE OF THE COIN..I believe that voting on the coin in the actual picture is wrong - it's the most popular coin contest, not that specific coin ! I will give that the coin pic is the same one but it's easily available here in better condition !

Why are you adding links for the catalogue then ? You're wasting your time if it's that particular coin pictured that we're voting on ? I really thought it was that run of coin :S
The 6 pence is mine and in terms of our two coins I think mine is far nicer with the toning and such, but if Mark's coin was in the same condition as mine I would probably say #2. That is my vote.

After looking at Mark's link I love the black and white shaking had depicted, the lion however is so poorly engraved. I never really liked the reverse of the South Africa coins, the six bundles just don't make a good design.
Going with #2
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

Citeer: Mark240590Phil if/ when I upgrade its yours I paid £13 for this one delivered, not a bad price considering the scarcity
You are too kind my dear chap. I'm happy to share a love of these worn out old coins with you.
If anyone ever has any dirty, worn out, unattractive, unloved pre-1800 copper coins they can't wait to get rid of, I have lots of modern shiny SILVER!!!!! coins to exchange for them.
Non illegitimis carborundum est. Excellent advice for all coins.

Ya snooze, ya loose! I really want an example of this coin, and I have not seen it for sale yet (except at today's coin show. Price: $550! Grade: AU. Do I really need that coin?). Good luck to you, Phil, anyway!
