Another coin found for a couple dollars today. 1867 six pence seems good condition

What are y'alls thoughts on this coin and did I do well?

How much exactly did you pay? I'd say you probably got a pretty decent steal from what you are saying.

 

Bought for 3 dollars

 

You did quite well, in my opinion, Queen Victoria 6d coins are often quite hard to come by in decent condition and for a reasonable price.

 

That's a fair, about average, price.

 

I would say you did quite well, But only if it is real. Can any one explain the # 12 above the date? I question it.

3 dollars is all it's worth? Well at least I didn't do bad

 

It's the die number. That did that now and then back then.

edit : "They...." darn auto correct

 

Hi alurid, follow your link and read the descriptive on the right under the heading "Design" It mentions " with die number " even though the picture provided doesn't show it.

 

Thanks for seeing that and telling me, that is very interesting.

 

Anyone else think it looks cleaned? I recently sold some cleaned British silver that looked a lot like this.

 

It does to me now that I look at it more, perhaps a long while ago?

 

Looks possibly like an old cleaning...but for 3 bucks, I would've bought it.

 

Im debating if it's considered an xf condition coin or not, they jump in value starting there

 

It does look very bright for being so old.
If you were to send it to be graded it would probably come back as an " XF Details " because of the likelihood of a cleaning. It probably would not be worth the cost considering it would have to be in the MS 63 or better in order to offset the grading costs.
It is still a very nice coin, you got it for a good price and it has the die number on it. Not all of them have the number.
If you collect, keep it.
If you buy and sell, you could probably advance it a couple of bucks, depending on your salesmanship.
