What is the value of a 1837 Queen Victoria silver three pence piece she has her hair in a bun?
Please have another look at your coin. Queen Victoria was not born until 1819 and did not become queen until 1837.
The first year that a silver 3d (threepence / thrupence) was cast using Queen Victoria as the engraving is 1838.
Silver 3d coins bearing some version of Queen Victoria's likeness were minted every year from 1838-1901. During several years coins were minted two times in a single year.
Maundy 3d coins dating from 1838 to 1926 can be distinguished from those issued for circulation by the quality of the strike. However, this not easy without experience. Such coins may command a premium.
The Queen Victoria "Young Head" 3d coins (where her hair is piled up in a ponytail-like bun) were issued between 1838 and 1897.
The 1847, 1848, 1852 3d coins are considered rare. The 1858 and 1868 coins are considered especially rare because of a minting error.
Starting in 1887 until 1893, 3d coins minted now featured the The Queen Victoria "Jubilee Head."
And finally, from 1893 until her death in 1901, 3d coins were minted with the The Queen Victoria "Old Head." image.

History of the threepence coin:
"After the Great Recoinage of 1817 the threepence was primarily produced for the Maundy Ceremony, although issues for Colonial use were made.It was not until 1845 that the threepence was struck for general circulation in the UK. From 1817 until 1945 the silver threepence weighed 1.4g and had a diameter of 16mm.
Maundy 3d coins from 1838 to 1926 can be distinguished from those issued for circulation by the quality of the strike. However, this not easy without experience. Such coins may command a premium.
Three interesting errors of legend occur during the Victorian era. The coin is small and the legend very fine, so it is understandable if the wrong punch was used for the similar letters B and R. The two errors are 1858 BRITANNIAB instead of BRITANNIAR, and 1868 RRITANNIAR instead of BRITANNIAR. These two coins are well worth looking out for as they command a substantial premium.
In addition, one die used in 1851 had a 5 punched instead of an 8, making it read 1551. An unusual way to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the first 3d!
During 1887 both the obverse and reverse were changed. The head of the Queen changed from the Young Head to the so-called Jubilee Head, and the crown above the figure three was modified. The Young Head version is illustrated. No mules of the two types are known.
In 1893 the obverse was changed to the Veiled Head type, and both the old and new versions exist for that date. The 1893 Jubilee Head 3d is a scarce coin.
Until 1927 the Maundy and currency versions of the coin are more or less identical - the depth of striking being the best clue - but in that year the currency coin was redesigned from the crowned 3 to a new design with three oak sprigs and acorns, while the design of the Maundy version remained unchanged."

Please post a new question with the coin's country of origin. England has never used cents, only pence, so if you have a coin with no country but a denomination of 3 pence it's British. If it's from another country it should have the name somewhere on the coin.

The British coin from 1969, specifically the 50 pence piece, is not made of silver. It is composed of cupronickel, which is an alloy of copper and nickel.
