I have today listed a few more Silver Halfcrowns of the 1930's and 1940's ........... These are getting scarce now after sixty years when they paid well to melt down for their silver content !...... Could be worth putting a few away ..... I am only selling because of my advancing age

The Indian silver coins of George VI marked "George VI King Emperor" are not half-crowns. They are rupees. They were only 50% silver in 1942.

Silver half-crowns marked "Ind Imp" etc are not Indian coins. They are mostly British coins. They too were 50% silver in 1942.

It is just possible you may have half-crowns from Australia etc marked "Ind Imp" etc, and these are sterling silver, but they have the name of the country clearly on them , as do the Indian rupees.

Actually, what fits your description best is the half-crown of New Zealand which is marked "George VI King Emperor" and also "half-crown", but of course New Zealand too. They are 50% silver.
Similarly with Southern Rhodesia, marked Southern Rhodesia, sterling silver.

Given these possibilities, Cajunsr's advice is obviously right, but you need to be sure of the country to put them in the correct category . Except for the British coins, it' s just a matter of reading the name of the country in English.
