<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steven Michael Gardner, post: 7309614, member: 97508&quot;]I have seen several Elizabeth 1 six pence coins and they all have been</p><p>(24.6-26.2mm) in size compared to this particular one, this coin seems to</p><p>be the size of the standard three pence coin...?&nbsp; the first time I touched</p><p>it, it just felt to thick, and to shiny, compared to others I have held....</p><p>Based on what I have read on this link: <a href="https://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins.pl?coin=10400" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins.pl?coin=10400" rel="nofollow">https://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins.pl?coin=10400</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>These are the standard weights for each denomination of Elizabeth coins:</p><p>PENNY: 0.5 gram</p><p>THREEHALFPENCE: 0.75 g</p><p>HALF GROAT: 1.0 g</p><p>THREEPENCE: 1.5 g</p><p>GROAT: 2 g</p><p>SIXPENCE: 3 g</p><p>SHILLING: 6 g</p><p>HALF CROWN: 15 g</p><p>CROWN: 30 g</p><p><br /></p><p>So, judging by weight &amp; size, I realize steel is heavier than Silver... My Question &amp; point:&nbsp; &nbsp; &quot;Is this coin a modern novelty fake???&quot;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1277902[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
