DeanTracey New Member Ireland 12 Posts	Posted 07/11/2013 3:38 pm Would you recommend gettin it graded professionally? Like would it increase value when selling? Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 07/11/2013 10:15 pm I think getting a coin graded does increase the value. I don't have any of my coins graded, but getting the exact grade would determine the value. If you want to get them graded then go for it. Report this Post to the Staff
DeanTracey New Member Ireland 12 Posts	Posted 07/12/2013 11:52 am Thanks for the advise would you have an idea o the value if the 1887 6 pence Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 07/12/2013 12:52 pm The 6 pence is silver, so this site should work, http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/wo...oinid=314685 I don't think yours is a proof coin so it should be the first on the list. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17999 Posts	Posted 07/12/2013 1:27 pm The 6d is in beautiful condition. This coin frequently turns up in EF or better as it was withdrawn soon after issue. It's a coin with an interesting history - the British equivalent of the 'Racketeer nickel'. The shield reverse was so similar to contemporary half-sovereigns that people gilded the sixpences and passed them off as half-sovereigns. Later in 1887 a new design was issued with a crowned "SIX PENCE" inside a wreath - very similar in fact to the reverse that had been used from 1831. There are actually three types of 1887 sixpence: 1. Young Head obverse, crowned "SIX PENCE" in wreath on reverse 2. Jubilee Head obverse, Shield reverse (called the "Withdrawn" type) 3. Jubilee Head obverse, crowned "SIX PENCE" in wreath on reverse (crown differs from type 1) A half-sovereign was worth 10 shillings, so twenty sixpences, quite a good deal!

DeanTracey New Member Ireland 12 Posts	Posted 07/12/2013 8:26 pm Yes that's quite helpful but It dosnt give a value for the different varieties only if it's proof or not I suppose it's up to what some one would be willing to pay for it. Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 07/12/2013 11:00 pm I can't seem to find all the varieties, but I would say your sixpence is somewhere around $60-$75. But I did find it has a low mintage of 3 676 00. Report this Post to the Staff
DeanTracey New Member Ireland 12 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 09:19 am That's interesting, I'm not sure how much there worth I found some where that it said â‚¬120 but I wasn't quite sure if it was through so I thought I mite ads well put it up and see Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 12:36 pm That could be one of the other varieties it's talking about, I know the one with the young head is worth quite a bit more. (not sure exactly how much) Report this Post to the Staff
DeanTracey New Member Ireland 12 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 4:01 pm I thought that they were worth about 200 to 300 euro but in not sure Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 07/13/2013 5:33 pm Besides value, is there anything else you want to know. You would probably need to go to a coin shop to find it's value. Report this Post to the Staff
