Best Answer

A British 1947 cupro-nickel Sixpence (George VI), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £6 GBP. If it has been circulated, not much.

The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

1947 is a common year for British pennies and it is worth about 25p ($.35 or so US/Canadian) if circulated. And about 3-4 pounds if uncirculated (about $5-6 US/Canadian)

Was there ever a bronze Sixpence?

The British Sixpence has never been issued as a bronze coin. The British Sixpence was first issued around 1551 and has been made from silver of varying quality until 1947. From 1817 to 1920 it was made from sterling silver. From 1920 to 1946 it was made from 50% silver and, from 1947 until its last minting in 1967, it was made from a copper nickel alloy. Depending on where and how the coin has been stored, a discolouration may have developed on the coin giving it a dirty gold, or perhaps a brownish colour.
