It's a very common coin, struck in cupro-nickel. They were heavily used in the 1960s and early 1970s and many vending machines took them. They were withdrawn from circulation in 1980, 9 years after the changeover to decimal currency (they were equal to 2.5 pence in the decimal system). A nice little souvenir and many people used to consider the sixpence a lucky coin, but of no particular numismatic value - I could probably pick out half a dozen EF and AU specimens from my local dealer's 10p tray.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21663 Posts	Posted 07/10/2017 2:11 pm This is the Canadian Coin grading thread. As that coin is a British coin, you might get more and better answers by putting this post in the United Kingdom (British) thread. Maybe a moderator can move it for you.
