All British general circulation Pennies are bronze. The only Penny that would be silver would be the Penny from the Maundy set and it would be substantially differerent in appearance and size from a general circulation bronze Penny. If the Maundy Penny is still in its original set of four coins, it might be fetch up to £95 GBP. If it no longer a part of the Maundy set but still in mint condition, it might be fetch up to £18 GBP. A reputable coin dealer will be able to advise and give a more accurate valuation.
If you are Saying which one would be the most intresting, it would be British as the America's were only discovered fairly recently.
It would depend on which "Pence" you refer to. The British Penny and Halfpenny were made from bronze from 1860 to their last minting in 1967. The British Threepence and Sixpence were made from sterling silver from 1816 to 1920, and from 1920 to 1946, they were made from 50% silver.

Most round British silver Threepences issued from about 1717 to 1926 inclusive would have a Crowned "3" enclosed by wreaths. All British silver Maundy Threepences issued from about 1817 to present day would have the same or very similar design.
AnswerA soap, it appears on the TV for the British public on certain weekdays through each week.
British Halfpennies have not been made from silver for hundreds of years. If you have a 1939 British silver halfpenny, it is because somebody plated it, and it has no value. A halfpenny made from silver would be worth about £20 GBP just because of the silver content.
The inscription "HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE" (Evil to him who evil thinks), appears on 1887 British sterling silver Sixpences, Shillings and Halfcrown coins. A denomination or a description of the coin would help a lot in identifying it.
A 1944 British Shilling would have been 50% silver, the remainder being various percentages of copper (mostly), zinc and nickel.
Normally, zero. A basic unit of currency like the Penny, is made from a relatively cheap alloy like bronze or steel. The metal a coin is made from cannot be worth more than the value of the coin. A Penny made from silver would not last five minutes as everybody would be melting them down to recover the silver. The only British low denomination coins minted in silver are those belonging to the Maundy Sets or, the occasional Proof FDC coins which, when they are minted, are usually at 92.5% silver. Prior to 1795, the British Penny was a small silver coin of about 92.5% silver, but the silver content varied depending on the economic conditions of the time.

I found what appears to be a silver souvenir spoon from Gullfoss (apparently in Iceland) also marked 8305. One guess is that the 8305 could mean 8305/1000 silver, similar to 925 means 9250/1000 silver.
That would depend on the country of origin of the Florin. The last British Florins to contain silver were dated 1946. The last Australian Florins to contain silver were dated 1963. The last New Zealand Florins to contain silver were dated 1946.
