What is the value of pre 1947 sixpences?
Sixpences minted between 1920 and 1946 were struck in 50% silver. They therefore have a scrap value by weight of approximately £14 per Troy Ounce (as at October 2010). In mint state they have a collectors' value or numismatic value. Dealers often offer a multiplier of the face value for them i.e. at the moment 10 times their face value would be an approximation. Sixpences struck before 1920 i.e. 1919 and earlier were struck in 92.5% silver and will fetch almost double. There are rare dates of course, 1893 with the Victoria jubilee head recently fetched £5,250 in mint state due to its rarity.
