Karlos Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Hello,I have put together a set of silver 6 pence coins and wondered if they were worth more as a set/run?At the moment the earliest I have is 1947 right up to 1967. Unfortunately I am however missing a 1952 coin I think.I have a number of spares, so I have picked out the best quality of each date range as well.Does anyone have an idea as to what it would be worth? ThanksKarl Quote

ThanksKarlWhether they are worth anything at all really does depend on their condition. Whilst you probably had fun putting the collection together and there's nothing wrong with that, I personally think it unlikely that any collector would really want to buy the entire run. A dealer may be interested if they were all strictly uncirculated but he would certainly not want to pay very much for them.On the plus side, it is actually quite a nice basis for a collection and you may like to add to them or improve the individual coins as you go along. In essence this is the way we all started and for many it has formed a lifelong interest.Very few sixpences were minted dated 1952 and you may have to pay a few pounds for even the scuffiest example.

SionGilbey Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 It entirely depends on who you sell to, and the condition.Also, in some cases if they are in a Whitman type folder (small cardboard holes to fit the coin) the folder can be worth more than the coins!The 1952 was the lowest mintage sixpence but you can get them from eBay cheaply (I recently got a GVF 1952 sixpence for £3) Quote
