S6583 is the sixpence. July is 6583B, unless it has a wide date in which case it is 6583BB or is in silver - 6583BBB.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Tom. I didn't realise there are 2 types so the next obvious question. Is this wide or narrow date?

Good question Rob - unfortunately Spink don't illustrate the "wide date" in their catalogue. All I can tell you is that the one July 1689 S6583B sixpence I can find illustrated in the Numismatic Circular (Feb 2005 Vol CXIII No 1)has both smaller numerals for the 1689 and letters for July.

I'm currently having problems with my email service but will see if I can scan the pic and send it to you.
