George VI 1936 - 1952

In 1947 the Royal Mint removed silver from circulating coinage. So the 1946 dated coins were the last ones to be struck using silver. We have found a small quantity of the King George VI sixpence dated 1946, which is the last silver sixpence ever issued for circulation. The coins on offer are some of the finest you can find, here in Gem Uncirculated. A great opportunity to add the last ever silver sixpence to your collection in wonderful condition…

The last Sixpence struck in silver. Uncirculated.

One series that we feel is underappreciated is the George VI cupro-nickel coinage 1947-1952. The silver coins take all the lime light, yet the cupro-nickel coins in the high grades are the ones that are more difficult to find. Here we offer a small group of the 1948 King George VI Sixpence in Uncirculated condition. These were put away the day they were issued and are now 74 years old and in Unc condition. Get them while you can it is a difficult coin.
