I am assuming that you are referring to a British sixpence, which is an obsolete denomination. Under the old Lsd system (for "Pounds - Shillings - Pennies"), there were 20 shillings to the pound and 12 pennies to the shilling. Thus, a sixpence would be half a shilling, or 1/40 of a pound. However, since 1968 (except for an Lsd-style proof set produced in 1970), the Birtish have been on the decimal system, whereby 100 pence equals a pound. So, a sixpence in the Lsd system equals 2.5 pence in the decimal system, which is in turn equivalent to about 3.5 US cents (in January 2009). Most likely, however, the coin has more numismatic value than that (, but maybe not much, depending on date and condition), and if it is dated 1946 or earlier, it is made of silver and so has some intrinsic value as well.
