I am renovating a bedroom in my home (it was built in 1914) and I just found a 1943 Georgivs VI Half Crown behind an old baseboard. Does anyone know how much it is worth? It appears to be silver. Thanks!

Actually, I live in South Carolina in the states. Not sure if it was a war vet's, I don't know much about the people who lived here in the 40's.

A 1943 half crown is made of .500 silver. Looks like they made 15,463,000 of them. It has .2273 oz. of actual silver weight. it retails for around $2.00 or so. Of course you would not get that amount from a dealer. You gave me the impression you live in the UK so it may be worth more there, than here in the USA. Nice find and it is a historic item. I would keep it. If it could only talk it might have an interesting story to tell. It was probably brought back by a WW II vet who was stationed in England. I live in New Hampshire so we are not too far apart. Still a neat find.

It's going to depend a lot on the condition of the coins, and in some cases, where the coins were minted. But some of the coins are silver, and the silver value sets a "floor" for the coin price--it can never go lower that the price of the silver in it. Right now, silver is $30.86 per troy ounce, so of the silver coins, US quarter 1943 $5.58 Australia crown: $25.95 Each of the British half crowns: $12.98 French 50 Centimes: $2 Canada 5 cents: $1.06 That's an absolute minimum. Several of the coins have different varieties that can be worth quite a bit more, especially if they're in really nice condition. Probably your best bet is to take them to a coin dealer, and ask for an appraisal (Don't say you're interested in selling them--tell him you need it for insurance purposes). The figure he should give you is the "replacement value"--what it would cost for you to buy those coins. If you were to sell any of them, you'd probably get half that amount.

Hi. I am a coin dealer in the Midwest. Your 1943 piece, as most British and German pieces from that era, made its way here most likely in the pocket of a returning WW2 vet. The coin itself is common, and worth around $3 more or less based on silver. It's a neat conversation piece though. Hope this info helped you out.
