I'm assuming that you mean British and not US Coins.
British silver coins dated 1919 and before are sterling (92.5% silver)
While British silver coins dated 1920-1946 are 50% silver.
No British coin has been struck for circulation in silver dated 1947-present.
For the sterling coins:
Threepence - 0.0420 of a troy ounce
Sixpence - 0.0895
Shilling - .1682
Florin -.3364
Half-Crown - .4206
Crown - .8409
For the 50% silver coins
Threepence - .0227
Sixpence - .0455
Shilling - .0909
Florin - .1818
Half-Crown - .2273
In order to calculate the current values you need to multiply the silver price by the silver content. For example if silver was valued at $30 an oz and you had a 50% silver threepence, you would take 30 times .0227 which gives you a value of about 68 cents.

Due to the steep rise in the price of silver in 1919/20, the issue of standard 92.5% silver coins was discontinued and coins of 50% silver were minted. In 1947, silver was needed to repay the bullion lent by the USA during the war years, so silver coins were replaced with coins of the same weight and type made of cupro-nickel.
