Super pleased to find this yesterday on very dry pasture in Wiltshire. However on closer inspection I'm thinking it's a contemporary forgery?
Weight 2.87g (446gr)
Any help appreciated.
Scale is centimetres.
Thanks

Nice find. Doesn't look like an obvious forgery to me but you may be able to see something 'in the flesh' that I can't see in the photos. ![[81/]](./images/smilies/81_EmoticonsHDcom.png "ThumbsUp")

Looks good to me, very close to full weight for a 6d, so I wouldn't worry. Lots of detail which is often lacking in the forgeries

That's a lovely find... well done.
That's a sixpence missing in my tanner finds. I'd love to find one of those.
