Best Answer

The Royal Mint did not produce a 1783 Sixpence.

Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many counterfeit coins produced. The counterfeit coins are collectible in their own right.

One can easily be found for less than one US dollar. Converting to the modern decimal system, one old sixpence equals 2.5 new pence.
