Im not a collector of foreign coins but this was in a lot of coins that I bought last year. It’s dated 1905 and labeled as Six Pence. Am I correct that this is King Edward VII and it’s from Great Britton? It looks and feels silver to me. If it is I have no idea of it’s silver content. So any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Me either but I found this on initial search.....1905 UK sixpence value, Edward VII, 6 Pence - Edward VII - United Kingdom – Numista
As they have pointed out, it's a British sixpence of King Edward VII, who was the eldest son of Queen Victoria.
As for silver content, it's sterling silver (92.5%). UK coinage was 92.5% until 1920, when a run up in the price of silver from WW1 debts and inflation forced them to lower the silver content of coinage to 50%. Nice find!
