dafney e New Member United Kingdom 24 Posts	Posted 05/31/2010 08:27 am Hi,I have found my first coin today. It is a george III silver sixpence dated 1816. I have never graded a coin before and would like someone to do a rough grade to give me an idea on how to, if possible a value as well but I know its not worth much these days. Thanks for your help.

molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 05/31/2010 10:43 am Is it a metal detecting find?.. if so, then you are lucky, all I find in the UK are pennies and once or twice a Quid coin on the ground (I don't do metal detecting.. however I wish I would one day)! :))...

dafney e New Member United Kingdom 24 Posts	Posted 05/31/2010 10:51 am I found it whilst counting a lot of change for my farther in law, but hoping to do some metal detecting soon need to know what type of detector to use. Report this Post to the Staff
molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 05/31/2010 11:04 am dafney_e; still a very very good find, congrats for you, the most interesting piece I find in the UK circulation is a couple of Isle of Man and Guernsey and several Gibraltar coins. You are luckier than I am! :)) Report this Post to the Staff

argentumandcoins Valued Member United Kingdom 60 Posts	Posted 05/31/2010 12:03 pm Hello Dafydd, It grades as poor and looks to be slightly bent. To a collector it is of no value but it does have a very small intrinsic value as it is made of 0.925 sterling silver. John. Report this Post to the Staff
