<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 7311541, member: 1765&quot;]The threepence (S-2565) is about 18 mm, but much lighter.&nbsp; This looks like a faithful copy of that coin, down to the correct mint mark.&nbsp; The other thing on yours is the small counterstamp left of the shield which may have been copied from another coin.&nbsp; If yours weighs 2.4 g, I imagine its thickness was one of the first things you noticed.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of my &quot;impulse buys&quot; that I have no regrets about is this Elizabeth I sixpence.&nbsp; I think it&#039;s my first 16th century purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://varslab.com/misc/15726d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
