The Sixpences of King James I

There are many coins of interest in the reign of King James I. First of note is the fact that the Sixpences are the only coins of his reign to bear a date, so for collectors to get a coin reflecting a certain event, the Sixpence is what is looked for.
New Englanders tend to favor the 1607 dated sixpence for its historical ties to that region. The 1607 Sixpence is a fairly common date, and shouldn't take too long to locate a reasonable example.
One of the major incidents in James' reign was the 1605 gunpowder plot, hence that date is semi looked for by collectors as well. The 1605 sixpence is more common than the 1607, and there are two styles, or busts minted on the coins of that year.
The most sought after date from this reign for historical purposes is 1611. That is the year the King James version of the Bible was commissioned. Like any of the sixpences minted in the teens, this date is quite scarce and fairly expensive in collectable condition. I have watched for these for the last few years and have only seen three offered, all in the last year. One of these can be found at Beeker1's English Hammered Coins website.
