George VI Shilling Coins (1937–1952) — Values, Market Worth, Rare Varieties, Key Dates & Collectible UK Coins
George VI shillings were struck from 1937 — the year of his coronation — until his death in 1952, making this a compact and completable series with real depth for collectors. Two distinct reverses ran side by side throughout the reign, a wartime silver shortage forced a change in metal composition in 1947, and a handful of dates are genuinely hard to find in decent condition. This guide covers all of it: what each year is worth, which coins are scarce and why, how to grade what you have, and how to build a collection without overpaying.
