Question

Do Australian coins for the 1943 era have any value to collectors

Answer 1

To add to Taiping's excellent answer, Australian coins in the threepence, sixpence, shilling, and florin denominations from the 1943 era - and more generally, any Australian coins in those denominations with dates prior to 1946 - are made from .925 fine Sterling Silver, and thus have considerable silver value.  Australian coins in those denominations with dates from 1946 through 1963 were made from .500 fine silver, and thus also are valuable for their silver content.

You can find the silver content of these coins by date and denomination in this eBay Guide:

Once you know how much silver your coins contain, you can multiply by the current silver price (currently around $17/Troy ounce) to get their approximate total silver value.

This silver value is independent from their value to collectors, as aptly described by Taiping.  To put this another way, any of these coins would be worth the higher of a) its silver value or b) its value to collectors.

Answer 2

The answer is yes, but it depends on what denomination the coin is as well as it's grade (condition). It also depends on what country you live in. There are World war II collectors every place but usually a coin is worth more in the country that made it. High grade coins command a premium from this time period for they were used a lot and nice mint state examples are scarce to rare. Finding a buyer will be the hard part and of course some have only a little value.
