George VI, Sixpence WWII Date Collection (Silver)
In the reign of King George VI many different and important events happened. Without doubt, the most important event was World War II. For the first time, it really was a World War with fighting in Europe, in the Far East, in Africa, and in South America. At that time our coinage was still being struck in Silver, mainly because cupronickel was much more important to the war effort than Silver. We have put together complete date sets of the World War II Silver Sixpences as issued in this country. You get nice circulated examples of the King George VI Sixpence of 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, and 1945. Remember that the Silver Sixpence ceased to exist after 1946. You get the complete collection for just £45.50.
