Collecting hints:

Charles I Tower mint sixpence are surprisingly scarce, at least in comparison to the Tower shillings. The quality of manufacture was generally fairly poor and coins are often on irregular flans and are weakly struck in parts. Collectors should look for a clear portrait, and those coins which are full round and well struck will command high prices.
