If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from $6 to $160 NZD. There were 560,000 minted.

Some of the silvers are ok. 1946 sixpence $28 1943 florin $18 1941 shilling $45 1933 sixpence $33 1939 threepence $4 34 shilling 43 threepence 47 penny 61 penny 52 shilling 48 shilling are all worth $1 P.S. Dont quote me on these figures... Shane

The coin program I've been in for over 2 years - http://silver-dollars.com - used to supply 1 ounce Liberty's until the entry price went too high, then they went to generic 1/2 ounce, but are now minting their own design - a 1/2 ounce .999 silver coin that has creases built in so you can easily break the coin in 1/4 ounce halves or 1/8 ounce quarters to "make change". Getting ready for the next currency collapse/depression. Just checked - I've got a 1933 sixpence I pulled out of the ground recently - still has all the dirt on it. Need to wash it and put it on trademe :) Edited by user Tuesday, 1 November 2011 10:07:59 AM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

I have been cautiously cleaning a few coins that had a real bad crusts or stains on them using Tonz link: http://www.anythinganywhere.com/info/clean.htm. Seems to be working pretty well in some cases. Can't tell they had the crust or that they have been cleaned.
