Certain pieces can be worth a lot of money so it's always best to see what's lurking in your stash. Now one TikTok user reckons this piece is the "holy grail" and there's millions of them out in circulation.
"Around one million of these coins were produced which makes it a relatively low mintage compared to others," he explained. "The pre-decimal six pence as equaled one fortieth to a pound sterling or six pence sterling." When revealing the value, the TikTok user claimed it all depends on a few factors – from condition to mintage. He said a poor grade six pence can be worth £30, while you'd have to image what one in mint condition could sell.
The legend "FID DEF" is around the top, with the word "SIXPENCE" below. The six pence was worth six pennies . It was first minted in silver in 1551 during the reign of Edward VI and turned into a cupro-nicek after 1947.
