Yes. All British Sixpences up to and including 1946 were made from silver of varying fineness. The Third Issue of Edward VI (1550-1553) Sixpences were made from "fine" silver.
All pre-1920 British Sixpences were made from sterling silver (92.5% silver content).
The last year British sixpences, shillings, florins, and half crowns were made with silver was 1946.
I don't believe that any commonwealth nation ever struck a sixpence in copper and not in 1943. There were some sixpences struck in copper-nickel, but I'm not sure which ones were in 1943, British and Australian sixpences were struck in silver in 1943.
The Royal Mint produced 6,382,793 British Sixpences.
With the possible exception of traders tokens (with the traders business name on them), there were no "Australian" Sixpences minted prior to 1910. The only Sixpences circulating in Australia prior to 1910 were British Sixpences.
All British 1935 Sixpences were minted at the Royal Mint London. There are no "D" Sixpences.
There USED to be 40 sixpences in a pound. 2 sixpences = 1 shilling. 20 shillings = 1 pound
Fijian Sixpences, Shillings and Florins minted from 1934 to 1941 had a silver content of 50%. Fijian Sixpences, Shillings and Florins minted from 1942 to 1943 had a silver content of 90%. This is an unusual trend, moreso during the war years when most countries were moving away from precious metals in their currencies. Fijian general circulation "silver" coins minted from 1953 onwards have no silver at all and were made from a copper-nickel alloy.
In 1878, the British minted many different types of silver coin including Crowns, Halfcrowns, Florins, Shillings, Sixpences, Threepences, some with variations, and the Maundy coins. Please be a little more specific.
With the possible exception of traders tokens (with the traders business name on them), there were no "Australian" Sixpences minted prior to 1910. The only Sixpences circulating in Australia prior to 1910 were British Sixpences.
You can sell silver coins to a coin collector, jewelry shop ect.
