echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/10/2007 2:56 pm The weight of a 1967 Six Pence is 2.8 grams, that's the newest one I have. Hope that helps. Ron Knight of the Coin Table #56 Edited by echizento 05/10/2007 2:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

NumisMattyUk Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2217 Posts	Posted 06/04/2007 09:44 am Yav', I don't think that could be post-decimilisation sixpences since there weren't any of them at all post-deci'- this is 1970 we're talking about here. But there would be a difference in weight between the cu-ni ones and the ones prior to a certain year in 1940's.. which were made largely of silver..
