Collectable Graded Australian Pre-Decimal Silver Coins

Prior to 1946, Australian silver coins carried 92.5 per cent silver but afterwards were debased into a 50 per cent silver alloy until the decimal change in 1966. At this point, Australia adopted the US-style dollar-based decimal system of currency.

KJC’s selection of predecimal coins is truly a collector’s dream, offering a wide variety of pre-1966 items. Both casual hobbyists and serious collectors alike will find items worthy of their collections.

Although not bullion-grade coins, they include a range of proofs and uncirculated coins that can carry both a high dollar value and the potential for higher values in the future. Serious collectors and investors in rare objects can both appreciate the value of these coins.

Whether you are a serious collector of rare, valuable, or interesting coins or if you buy as an investment, KJC can help. Reach out today to ask questions or to place an order. Our friendly and courteous staff are waiting to help.
