Really depends on the date and condition. British half-crowns before 1947 are silver and worth substantially more than the ones dated 1947 and later. The ones before 1920 are sterling silver, worth more than the 50% silver ones of 1920-1946. But post a date if you want an accurate evaluation.


It's a 1937 halfpenny it's in fine condition it's an English crown coin?

Your question is a bit confusing because a half-penny and a crown are two very different coins. In the old coinage system England used before 1968, a pound sterling contained 240 pence, so a half-penny was worth 1/480 of a pound. On the other hand, a crown was worth a quarter of a pound, or 60 pence - 120 times as much. Assuming you have a half-penny because it was a far more common coin, it would retail for less than a dollar in average condition.
