Carrying on a topic I started on Queenzone, thought I would post here for people’s reference. It contains a list of all Brian May minted sixpences so far.
1993 Back To The Light
2004 WWRY Las Vegas
2005 Q+PR
2008 Cosmos Rocks
2009 WWRY UK Tour
2011 WWRY UK Tour
2012 WWRY 10th Anniversary
2013 WWRY Around The World
2014 Red Special 50th Anniversary
2015 Q+AL Tour
2016 Q+AL Tour
2017 NOTW 40th Anniversary (inc gold)
2018 Jazz 40th Anniversary (inc gold)
2020 Seiko Red Special (gold only)
2020 Red Special (inc gold)
2022 Seiko Red Special (gold only)
2022 Gold Series - Another World (gold only)
2023 Star Fleet 40th Anniversary (inc gold)
2024 Brian May Guitars
I’m lucky enough to own all of these sixpences apart from the 2020 Seiko release, NOTW, Jazz and Star Fleet gold editions.

Are we sure the 2020 one is a new edition, not just "here, have a 2018 one from stock"?
No way am I paying £500 for a shit watch just for that!

Oh my that looks lovely.
Is the sixpence rose gold colour or was that the lighting of the camera ?

Silver one out tomorrow at 0900hrs (UK) How much is that? Fifty quid for a sixpence seems a hell of a big rate of inflation! |

Altogether the silver one is £12 so it's quite tempting to buy one. Should I?

I’ve always felt the gold sixpence versions were a total waste of money. They’re the same coin just dipped in a solution. Big friggin deal.

Crazy! Wish I'd bought one now. If people are daft enough to spend that sort of money, I'd gladly take it off them. 🙂 |

These appear to also be sold out on the QOL website.
Glad I snagged one when I could.

Updated for the 2022 Another World sixpence. Only seems to be the limited gold edition at the moment which surprisingly has sold out yet. People holding off for the normal cheaper option, which I presume will be released at some point? Unless there will only be a gold version for the gold series?

Based on recent history, I suspect that there'll be no standard one.
SO I've ordered a gold one, which arrived today.

Be warned - there is an Ebay seller who appears to have sold half a dozen 1993 sixpences, for a Buy It Now price of £39.99. This seems too good to be true to me (if I had 6 they'd be on at a starting bid of £100), and the blase way they promise to address issues ("I'll send a replacement") suggests a level of stock that is frankly unlikely.
IN short, I suspect that there are counterfeit 1993 sixpences.

The 2022 Another World sixpence is still available... for me signs of "too much editions in too short of time". The "only one per household" restrictions was turned off after only 2 days. A bit sad, so more and more the sixpences are nothing special anymore. Here the ones I´ve got: 1993 Back To The Light 2005 Q+PR 2008 Cosmos Rocks 2009 WWRY UK Tour 2011 WWRY UK Tour 2012 WWRY 10th Anniversary 2013 WWRY Around The World 2014 Red Special 50th Anniversary 2016 Q+AL Tour 2017 NOTW 40th Anniversary 2017 NOTW 40th Anniversary (Limited Gold Edition) 2018 Jazz 40th Anniversary 2018 Jazz 40th Anniversary (Limited Gold Edition) 2020 Seiko Red Special 2020 Red Special 2020 Red Special (Limited Gold Edition)
2022 Seiko Red Special 2022 Gold Series - Another World
So I´ve missed these two:
2004 WWRY Las Vegas
2015 Q+AL Tour
Wasn´t it a sixpence, that was released exclisivly together with a original red special guitar at the time? For everyone interested... I´ve got two 2022 Seiko Red Special for trade.

Really, even though there have been standard versions of all previous gold versions apart from the Seiko ones? Are you happy with your purchase? I’m hovering over the add to basket button, the £5 price tag does sting a little. |

Yes.
My recollection is that all previous gold ones were AFTER the regular ones.
It's a chunk of cash, but I've done worse (different thread!)

IN short, I suspect that there are counterfeit 1993 sixpences. I agree with all your logic, it's just seems too much of a niche for someone to bother having a whole stock of one specific edition. This isn't even aimed at general Queen fans (who could just pick the current one on the official tour shop or something), but specifically at Brian May collectors. How many of us are out there trying to collect every Brian May sixpence since his first solo tour? It'd be interesting if someone who actually bought it at one of his BTTL concerts could compare theirs with this one to find out if there's any noticeable difference. I don't know shit about counterfeit coins, but in many other areas, counterfeit collectibles tend to be imperfect enough to be detected by careful visual inspection. |

The photos look pretty convincing to me, although every sale has the same pics, which could be the original.
That said, there are no obvious complaints
