Does anyone know how it was made ?
Also any other info would be appreciated.
Its not a one-off - I saw another some time ago.
Its base metal and a bit thinner than the normal version.
I have no idea really, maybe cast. :angel:
It's pretty crude.
Is it hammered possibly?
It's a forgery, you can tell by all the detail, in SIXPENCE, huge gap between I & X, the star looks wrong, crown looks wrong & much more, I was looking at buying one a while back, but instead I opted for a 1973 50c forge. I should see if the guy still has it. As far as forges go, sixpences are much harder to find & probably weren't worthwhile making, but then again, would've flown under the radar a lot easier.
From the wear on it, It looks like it has fooled a lot of people.
