The 28 has wear on the REV, look at the nipples

On the acorns, they're worn flat compared to the 1931

The 28 is definitely not UNC.

EF (or slightly better) for the first. GVF for the second?

£10, not quite up with modern coins though, in fact why buy it when they're plentiful in UNC, it's not a rare coin

Cheers, I think I can probably get it for under £10 so I may go for it. Thank you all for the feedback.

The first looks nice! Around AU for me!

Leave the other...no point in having that! :)

Edit: just as a disclaimer, I'd certainly buy it at GEF any day of the week!

Purely becuase I like the look of it and the only sixpence I have looks like it has been dragged across the floor.

Does anyone know what the A and D on the reverse mean?

I'm not certain the G5 acorn reverse 6ds are quite so easy in UNC as we might imagine?

Not so easy to find them ticking all the boxes!

I only ever had ONE that I thought to be a prize, and that came from Manchester!

It's also got that spurred edge on the reverse from 12-4 O'Clock, I always like to see that pressing through my coin flips! :)

A D = Anno domini = Year of Our Lord

The reverse often does not strike up fully and the acorns suffer. I do think these have wear and qualify in the EF and gVF level as previously stated.

Ah that makes sense, thank you.

The 1931 is an AUNC. Probably worth 25-30 pounds max. The 1928 is a GVF and worth 5 pounds max.
