Three-quarters of a shilling (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ninepence

'three-quarters of a shilling' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ninepence that I've seen before include "Three-quarters of a shilling" , "in a right old state" , "amount of old money" , "Using old money, had one over the eight" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
