That would be a problem. I assume we are talking about old coils laying around of questionable conditon and you don't want to buy a decent ohm meter just to see if you have 6 or 12 volt coils? In that case I would recommend tossing the coils in the trash and buying a new one 6 volt coil at autozone for only $16.00.
