New Zealand Sixpences were issued in most years from 1933 until 1965. Decimal currency was introduced in 1967.

Depending on the year, a circulated Sixpence in good condition might fetch anything from $2 to $200 NZD.

Depending on the year, an uncirculated Sixpence in absolute mint condition might fetch anything from $4 to $850 NZD.

A complete set of New Zealand Sixpences from 1933 to 1965 in average condition might get $70 NZD.

The New Zealand 1957 "strapless" Sixpence might be considered to be scarce. Queen Elizabeth II is shown with no shoulder straps on her garment. An estimated 200,000 were minted.

The 1941 and 1942 Sixpences might also be considered scarce.
