If something says Victoria DEI GRATIA on the back and a FID DEF Britt Reg 1889 coat of arms on the front is it worth anything?

If the "something" you refer to is a coin, it is probably a sterling silver Double Florin (4 Shillings) or a sterling silver Florin (2 Shillings).
Both of these coins have what is known as the "Jubilee Bust" of Queen Victoria on the front.
The Double Florin is 36mm in diameter, weighs 22.62 grams and has crowned cruciform shields on the reverse with sceptres in the diagonals. An 1889 Double Florin in fair to good condition might get anything from £12 to £20 GBP.
The Florin is 29.5mm in diameter, weighs 11.3 grams and has the same design as the Double Florin on the reverse. An 1889 Florin in fair to good condition might get anything from £10 to £25 GBP.
A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection and positive identification of the coin.

What is the value of a Queen Victoria Del Gratia Britt gratia ed 1889?
It wouldn't say Victoria and be dated 1909 because Victoria died in 1901. Also the motto is on ALL British coins so it doesn't help ID anything. Please post a new question with the coin's date and denomination.

What type of coin is an 1896 gold Victoria Gra Britt?
It will be either a British Sovereign or Half-Sovereign.
A coin dated 1967 which says one penny Victoria dei gratia Britt Regina f d value?
The phrase "VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REGINA FID DEF IND IMP" is mostly abbreviated from Latin. The literal definition is - "Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the British territories, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India". This expression and variations of it appear on the obverse of all pre-decimal coins of all British Empire/Commonwealth countries. The expression identifies the reigning Monarch of the period, in this case, Queen Victoria. It does not identify the country or the denomination of the coin. The equivalent phrase for Queen Victoria's successor, King Edward VII, is - "EDWARDVS VII DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX FID DEF IND IMP". The literal definition is - "Edward VII by the Grace of God, King of all the British territories, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India". The phrase varies as the Monarch and the gender of the Monarch changes, and as the circumstances of the British Empire/Commonwealth changes.
What is an 1896 Victoria dei gra Britt Regina fid def ind imp mintmark m?
Well, you didn't specify the denomination, but let me tell you what the legends mean. 1896 is obviously the date on the coin, Victoria is who is depicted on the front of the coin. Dei Gratia means by the grace of god. Britt Regina means queen of the British. Fid def means defender of the faith, and Ind Imp means Empress of India. Put these together and you get part of Queen Victoria's royal title, Victoria, by the grace of God, queen of Britain, defender of the faith and empress of India. As for the mintmark M, this mintmark would only appear on the gold coins, the sovereign and the half sovereign for this date. The mintmark would be above the date on the reverse between the 8 and 9 on the ground with St. George slaying the dragon. This mintmark means the coin was minted in Melborne.
What does DGREG mean on a coin?
D G REG is heavily abbreviated Latin and it will appear on most British and Commonwealth coins when there is a Queen on the throne. D G is often shown as DEI GRATIA meaning "by the grace of god". REG is often shown as REGINA meaning "Queen". REX for a King. Current coins featuring Queen Elizabeth II will have the legend "ELIZABETH II D G REG F D" or something similar meaning, "Elizabeth II, by the grace of god, Queen and defender of the faith". The full unabbreviated inscription reads "ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA FIDEI DEFENSOR". The legend in the latter part of the reign of Queen Victoria was a little more impressive and read - "VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REGINA FID DEF IND IMP". The literal definition is - "Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the British territories, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India".
How much is a 1853 gold victoria dei gratia coin worth?
You need to provide much more information. That motto appears on all coins of the current British Commonwealth and was on all coins of the empire when Victoria was queen. Please post a new question with the coin's denomination, how worn it is, and what country issued it. If there's no country shown on the coin it's probably from Britain.
What is the value of a Halfpenny Victoria gra-Britt-Regina 1800?

What is the value of a 1890 Victria Dei Gratia Britt Regina PD I think it is a 3 penny.... silver coin?
What you have is a British threepence from the reign of Queen Victoria. The legend on the coin reads in English, Victoria, by the Grace of God Queen of Britain, and what you says is PD should actually be FD, short for Fidei Defensor, which translates into English as Defender of the Faith. When it comes to value, in average condition it goes for $1-10 depending on demand and condition. It really isn't that sought after, but it is sterling silver which gives it most of its value.
