Courtesy of Tony Clayton's website at http://coins-of-the-uk.co.uk: In 1887 the shield reverse of the Jubilee issue proved a favourite with some who gold plated them and passed them off as half sovereigns. As a result the reverse reverted to the earlier SIX PENCE type during that year, making three different designs of sixpence all dated 1887. The withdrawn shield type is common in good condition as many were saved as curios. The standard weight of these coins was 1/11 troy ounce (43.6 grains).LOT# 600C
