Value of Shillings

Recommended Posts

Hi, Can anyone tell me if any of these shillings and two shillings have any value please? thanks

Anything pre-1947 has 50% silver content and therefore contains its value in silver. A few of those George VI shillings (1947 - 1951) look in high grade and would be worth a pound or two, though not rare. However, at that size, it's unclear whether they have lustre, or have been polished. If the latter, then worth virtually nothing I'm afraid.
