There are countless coins thought to be lucky, but one has such an enduring story that collectors seek it generation after generation.

The Silver Sixpence was first issued in 1551 and was soon adopted as a lucky charm to ward off evil spirits, especially during rites of passage, such as weddings.

That tradition continues to this day, with the old rhyme still used for brides:

Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something blue,
And a sixpence for her shoe.

It's no surprise that collectors love these coins so much.
