The only British Sixpence that could be considered valuable would be the 1952 coin. A British 1952 Sixpence, uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £95 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £5 to £30 GBP. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

∙ 13y agoNo. The last general circulation British Sixpences were minted in 1967 in sufficient quantities to serve until the introduction of decimal currency in 1971. There were some Proof FDC Sixpences minted in 1970.
Due to problems with vending machines, the Sixpence remained legal tender until 1980.
There was no equivalent decimal coin for the Sixpence.

∙ 12y agoOf course, coins made from 1920-1946 are 50% silver, and those before 1920 are sterling silver (.925) and will always be worth scrap value for silver. Most of the early milled (late 1600s, early 1700s) sixpences are worth quite a bit if in decent condition. The hammered sixpences are worth quite a bit if you can find a rare variety or if they are nicely struck with little wear. Sixpences were first struck in the reign of Edward VI and continued up until decimalization.
