    Hi Chris, I bought the coin on ebay as a sixpence having previously bought a shilling from a reputable dealer in Hampshire. When the "sixpence" arrived it was more or less the same diameter as the shilling. I wasn't sure about the difference in size between a shilling and sixpence in that eras so I thought I would check. Thank you for your help. Gary

    The shilling should be approx 25.5mm and weigh 6.0g, the sixpence 21mm and weigh 3g. David Thank you for the information David. I believe the coin I have is a shilling. Regards, Gary

    HI, Could someone tell me if there is a significant difference in diameter between the 1745 Lima sixpence and the shilling. I bought a coin that was sold as a sixpence but it isn't very different in diameter from a shilling that I already have in my collection. Many thanks. Best regards, Gary
