How do you tell the difference between a sterling silver 1920 British Threepence and a 50 percent silver one?

The short answer is that you cannot tell the difference, they are, for all intents and purposes, identical in appearance, and the dimensions and designs are the same.
Some say that the sterling silver Threepences have a more pronounced serif on the E's due to the density of the different metals. You will need a very good magnifying glass and a practiced eye to spot the differences.
If you really need to know, a reputable coin dealer may be able to assist.

What does a 1920 British Threepence look like?
Pictures of a specific coin are difficult to come by. Frequently you should be able to find one on eBay, but the picture is withdrawn after the coin is sold. The British 1920 Threepence changed from sterling silver to 50% silver during the course of 1920. There are no obviously apparent visual distinctions between the two types of coin. The 1920 Threepence is almost identical to the 1925 Threepence shown. See the link below.
