By far the rarest and barely known in uncirculated is the 1893 Jub head. Also please note that the mintage figures are how many struck for the year which may include coins struck from previous year dated dies as well.
Although it is not in the top 10, the 1854 Sixpence is more expensive than most of this top ten and would come in just behind the 1893 Jubilee Head one at £140 in a poor condition and well over £1000 in a good grade. There does not seem to have ever been an uncirculated one come up for sale. Those mintage figures should be taken with a certain amount of salt as they do not mean that all of the coins ever went into circulation in the first place, at least in the nineteenth century. After about 1900 however, they become much more reliable and what was minted went out into circulation, in Britain at least. This should always be remembered when looking at mintage figures. There are mintage figures for 1849 and 1861 sixpences which are always quoted in coin catalogues yet not one of either of these years has ever been found, ever.
Wow I had not realised 1849 & 1861 sixpences are in some catalogues as my book doesn't include them And yes the older Mintage figures can never be fully trusted
@BitsAndBobsCoins I know didn't even know what it was as I was brand new to the hobby and found it with a cheap detector off amazon was over the moon when I found out and cleaned it up still class it as my favourite find coz it was my first coin and was silver.

Yes the 1893 Jubilee Head has quite the price tag
Quite rightly said. I have commented on this. Really those mintage figures should be treated with extreme caution.
Some amazing Coins
