    Hi forum, I was wondering if there were any interesting articles on victorian sixpence 'die numbers' that somebody could point me to? I don't really understand what's what with die numbers and what they really mean and since I've just started to add Victorian sixpences to my collection, I thought I'd get swatting. Many thanks, Descartes

    Would like to talk to fellow sixpence collectors and learn more from milled coin experts :)

    Hi Peter, Yes, I've heard that William III sixpences are a minefield. I read somewhere that there are over 70 different variations. Would make an amazing collection! Although I do like to pick up a good sixpence from any reign and date, I am beginning to specialise and collect sixpences from the four Georges (I-IV). Regards, D

    Thanks for all the feedback everyone. It looks like I'll be sending the coin back in the morning post then as I only collect sixpences ... I've weighed and measured following your advice and it's most definitely a shilling! Thanks again! Descartes

    Greetings, I'm new to collecting sixpences so sorry if this seems like a silly question. I've recently purchased the attached coin and have noticed that it is larger that the other sixpences in my collection. It measures at 23mm and the reverse is upside down! Is this a George IV sixpence or a different coin? Regards, Descartes
