<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bardolph, post: 5005691, member: 96174&quot;]That&#039;s quite a nice specimen of the 1787 Sixpence. According to my 2016 copy of Spink&#039;s Coins of England and the United Kingdom, this sixpence is catalogued at £85 in VF and £115 in EF.</p><p><br /></p><p>THere are two versions of this coin. The shield at 9 o&#039;clock on your coin shows the arms of the Kings of Hanover, as the British kings were also Kings of Hanover from 1714 to 1837when Queen Victoria could not accede to this German throne as preference was given to males, no matter how far down the line of succession they may have been.</p><p><br /></p><p>The difference between the two versions is that one shows the lion rampant in a field sown with hearts while the field in the second version is plain. Both varieties are listed at the same price.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1201126[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
