	Irish sixpence coin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Irish six-pence coin was originally struck in nickel, like the threepence and these coins were very well wearing.
		Five early coins were minted with a design by Publio Morbiducci which feature the wolfhound's head looking back; these coins are quite valuable, estimated at several thousand euro - they remain in the hands of collectors and were never released to circulation.
		It was expected that this coin would circulate alongside the new decimal coins, with a value of 2½ new pennys as in the United Kingdom.

	Coin Collecting
		Gold coins from the five guineas to the half-guinea, together with the silver from the crown to the sixpence were struck with both portraits.
		One of the commonest gold coins of the reign of George III is the `spade' guinea.
		In 1860 bronze coins were introduced to replace the large copper coins which were rather clumsy and soon became worn because of the softness of the metal and the amount of circulation they received.

	Coin Collecting
		Despite the fact that these coins are very much better struck than the old hammered issues, they were discontinued after 1571 as the workers, fearing for their jobs, raised objections to the new machinery and for one reason or another Mestrelle fell from favour and the former coining methods were restored in 1572.
		The coins that were struck during this ten-year period consist of the gold half-sovereign, crown and half-crown and the silver shilling, sixpence, groat, threepence, half-groat and three-farthings.
		Coins bearing this name were struck from bullion captured by an Anglo-Dutch expedition under the command of the Duke of Ormond and Lord Rooke who sailed against the Spanish in 1702 and sacked the towns of Cadiz and Vigo.

	Irish pound - Enpsychlopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Irish pound that appeared in 1928 was originally called the 'Saorstát pound' ("Free State pound") and was pegged to the Pound sterling; the currency was referred to as the 'Irish pound' from 1938 after the Constitution of Ireland changed the states' name.
		The coin, essentially a flat disk, had the misfortune of being almost identical in dimensions to the old penny coin that circulated before 1971, and was quite similar to but thinner than the half-crown coin.
		During the early circulation of the coins payphones and vending machines were changed over as expected, however soon the old penny, in particular, became used as a substitute for the pound coin in these devices.

		The sixpence, on a 25mm diameter flan, and the quarter shilling threepence on a 19½mm flan, are added to the Irish currency for the first time, but the most novel feature of the 1601 indenture is the introduction of copper pence and half-pence.
		Hoards contain mostly English coin, but there was a lot of base coin in use (which would not be hoarded) and it is no surprise that much of the existing base coin was brought in to exchange for the new legal tender base coin, but not much sterling.

		Sellers of coins, either to dealers or at auction, will generally get less than these prices because the eventual buyer will end up paying either the dealer's markup or the auctioneer's fees which will account for the difference.
		Coins listed in this catalog which are common (or in lower grade than is readily available for the type) are provided with prices.
		Coins which are listed as rare (or which are in exceptionally good condition for their type) will often sell for closer to the collector's buying price because a dealer will be happy to carry a desireable item at a smaller markup.
