Lucky Wedding Coin Set Genuine UK Sixpence Bride and Harp Irish Penny Groom 

 

This set is contains two genuine lucky wedding coins, a British QEII sixpence for the bride and a harp bronze Irish penny for the groom. The groom's coin features the harp on one side and a bird that looks like a peacock or pheasant on the other side. These cents were made for a few years after the larger hen penny was discontinued but before the small Irish Euro cent was issued.

The photos are representative. Dates will vary (seller choice) but your coins will be as nice or nicer than the ones pictured.

Note: This set contains only 2 coins and 2 flips as shown. If you are interested in also purchasing a 3,200 word booklet full of fun, fascinating facts and color photos about the humble sixpence as well as the history of the lucky large Irish hen penny, please see my eBay store. Some wedding coin sets come with this booklet. It will also describe the various sixpence minted by seventeen different nations.

“At least since the reign of Queen Victoria, this little poem has been kept alive, passed from bride to bride and mother to daughter. The author is unknown. It is said that the woman who is about to be wed should have on her person:

Something old

Something new

Something borrowed

Something blue

And a lucky sixpence in her shoe.”

My Seller FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions): 


Reading this now will save both of us time later because sellers are allowed some customization within their seller policies.


Allergy Note: All lots come from a smoke free and cat free home but pre-owned items may have originated in different conditions. 


Cancellations: Anyone canceling more than one bid or requesting the cancellation of more than one purchase within a six-month period will be put on the blocked bidder list permanently out of fairness to all.


Discounted Shipping: USA shipping only. I am happy to discount shipping on multiple purchases of similar weight if you message me to request a discounted invoice after your last auction concludes but before payment is sent. Please make this request through your “cart” or the eBay messaging system within 24 hours of the first win. Multiple large fragile items are not usually subject to this option because they often have to ship in separate boxes. 


Shipping and Return Policy: I can only ship to your official eBay address within the USA (the address that shows up when a seller looks at your eBay ID or tries to send you an invoice), no exceptions. 

I ship twice a week, usually on Monday and Friday so shipping can take up to four days from the time of payment. Please bear this in mind, as well as the post office transit time estimates, when looking at arrival dates. 

You will always receive a tracking number from the eBay shipping system. 


In more than 20 years, my return policy has not changed. All sales are final - no returns or refunds unless there is a serious question of authenticity or a gross error in the description. Refunds are not available for differences regarding banknote, coin and medal grading opinions. 


Payment Reminder: eBay automatically cancels a transaction when payment fails to arrive within the required period. 


ABOUT FEEDBACK: My top priorities are answering email, writing accurate descriptions and the fastest possible shipping for my schedule. Feedback is important but not my priority. I leave feedback only once or twice a month in large groups to save time.
