Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 05/26/2007 09:56 am Here is my latest six pence I bought. It is a George V 1919 6p. It had a few rim nicks on the reverse but was still in EF if not a little better. I bought a GB price guide book which helps me know if I am getting my money's worth on these and I did pretty good on this one. Any comments are welcome.

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 06/16/2007 9:29 pm G'day, My favourite UK sixpences are the early ones after the Great Recoinage of 1816, and the 1887-Type2 (withdrawn). These featured the Royal Arms on the reverse, as did the half-sovereign. Both coins were 19mm diameter. One was gold, the other silver, so the only differences were colour and weight. A lot of effort was made to re-colour sixpences, in order to pass them off. I have two: 1820 & 1887. I also have a gilded 1787 shilling - a little larger than post-1816 shillings - but the same size as a Guinea. This is a very interesting form of "forgery". Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff
