There were quite a few different British Queen Victoria sterling silver coins issued in 1840, so please be a bit more specific.

Halfcrown - 32mm in diameter - Crowned shield on reverse

Shilling - 23.5mm in diameter - Crowned ONE SHILLING on reverse

Sixpence - 19mm in diameter - Crowned SIX PENCE on reverse

Groat (Fourpence) - 16mm in diameter - Britannia on the reverse

Threepence - 16mm in diameter - numeral 3 on the reverse

The first coins made in Britain were gold coins struck by the Celts in or around 70 BC. Prior to that, there were imported coins circulating, dating back to about 150 BC.

Like the name is saying: Six pennies are in a sixpence piece.

A British 1952 bronze Penny (George VI)(proof only), is unique because only one was minted and a value cannot be given.

A reputable coin dealer will probably fall over if he sees one.

It is quite possible that you have a legitimate copy, facsimile or fantasy coin.

The British 1797 "Cartwheel" Proof Penny was minted in a variety of metals including, Gilt copper, Copper, Bronzed, Silver and Gold.

Mintage figures are not given since coins from this period were usually produced by a specific weight, ie. two tonnes of Pennies.

Most of the 1797 Proof coins are rated as various degrees of "rare".

That question doesn't have enough information for an answer, because it doesn't include the coin's denomination. A penny has a different value than a shilling.

Great Britain produced three different Three Pence coins in 1937, although only two of them were intended for circulation.

The most common (KM#849) is made of nickel brass, is 12-sided, roughly the size of a US nickel coin (but about twice as thick), and weighs 6.8 grams. The front bears a portrait of King George the Sixth and the words "GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX F:D:IND:IMP:" (abbreviated Latin for "George the Sixth, By the Grace of God, King of All Britain, Defender of the Faith, and Emperor of India"). The back has an image of a thrift plant with three blooms, the words "THREE PENCE" above, and "1937" below. 45,708,000 were produced for circulation in 1937, as well as 26,000 in Proof for collectors. According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, and example is valued at US$0.25 in Fine condition, US$0.40 in Very Fine condition, US$2.00 in Extremely Fine condition, US$10.00 in Uncirculated condition, and US$17.50 in Proof.

A three pence coin in silver was also produced for circulation (KM#848). It is 16mm in diameter, weighs 1.4138 grams, and is 50% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.0227 troy ounces. The front bears a portrait of King George the Sixth and the words "GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX" (abbreviated Latin for "George the Sixth, By the Grace of God, King of All Britain"). The back has an image of the St. George Sheild (which has a cross on it) on a Tudor rose, with "19" to the left, "37" to the right, "FID:DEF:IND:IMP" above (abbreviated Latin for "Defender of the Faith, and Emperor of India"), and "THREE PENCE" below. 8,148,000 were produced for circulation in 1937, as well as 26,000 in Proof for collectors. An example is valued at US$0.50 in Very Fine condition, US$1.25 in Extremely Fine condition, US$7.00 in Uncirculated condition, and US$15.00 in Proof.

Finally, 1,351 silver coins were produced in Prooflike condition as Maunday Money to be given out by the King around Easter (KM#850). While the same size and weight as KM#848 above, the coin looks different. The front bears a portrait of King George the Sixth and the words "GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX F:D:IND:IMP:" (abbreviated Latin for "George the Sixth, By the Grace of God, King of All Britain, Defender of the Faith, and Emperor of India"). The back has a large "3" dividing the "19" and "37" of the date, with a large crown above the numeral and an oak wreath surrounding it. An example is valued at US$45.00 in Uncirculated condition, and US$55.00 in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.

A British Henry V silver Penny (1413-1422)(depending on condition and variant), circulated but still in good condition, might fetch anything from $35 to $185 AUD.

The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

Please ask one question at a time in the format - "What is the value of a 1983 British One Pound coin?"

These coins are still potentially in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth One Pound.

One Shilling GBP in 1850 had the purchasing power of about £3.83 GBP today.

One Shilling GBP in 1850 had the purchasing power of about $6.25 USD today.

NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations by a purpose designed program for which I can take no credit. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation.

A British 1906 sterling silver Halfcrown (Edward VII), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £675 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £15 to £225 GBP.

The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

The 1844 coin is actually one of the "key dates" of farthings issued during the 62-year reign of Queen Victoria. Only 430,000 were produced, and its value is about US$55 in Fine condition, about US$125 in Very Fine condition, about US$450 in Extremely Fine condition, and about US$700 in Uncirculated condition,

You do not specify the country.

There is very little possibility that the edge inscription could be "upside down" with respect to the obverse and reverse, but nothing is impossible. There is no documented occurrence of this error.

Any coin with a "genuine" minting flaw would have some value, above the usual, as a collectible coin.

Genuinely flawed coins are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the minting process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the mint therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated.

A reputable coin dealer should be able to identify and confirm the coin as genuine and make a valuation.

Never clean old coins, pennies, nickels, dimes, etc... Coin collectors want the natural patina. If the pennies have dirt on them then soak them in water to remove the dirt.

But don't use any detergents. Detergents can damage the surface of the coin and leave pitting lowering the value of the coin. Also do not rub the coins together to loosen the dirt, this can scratch and wear the coins and lower the value.

Coins (US Coins) will be worth face value to a non-coin collector, but if you plan to collect coins or just clean them to sell as collector pieces, then don't clean them.

The origin of the term "Florin" comes from Florence, Italy, in the mid-13th century where a gold coin called a "Fiorino d'oro" was used. Many other European countries also used a similarly named coin.

England issued a gold Florin coin of three shillings at about this time, but it did not last very long.

In 1848, the British Government decided to initiate steps towards a decimal currency, and so the modern Florin, being one tenth of a Pound (or two shillings), came into being.

The coin was called a Florin, its value was two shillings.

The earlier Florins actually had "One Tenth of a Pound" inscribed on the coin.

From about 1893, the coins had "One Florin" inscribed on them.

From 1937, the inscription changed to "Two Shillings" until decimalisation.

Prior to decimalisation and dating back quite a few hundred years, circulating British coins would have included -

and a great many more as you go further back in time.

Like any collectable coin, condition is the most determining factor in the value. There are also different varieties of this coin (NOE), and by browsing the internet and searching for different auction houses (Stacks, etc.) you can find past values realized at these auctions. You must also be very cautious of fakes that surface frm time to time. The best thing to do is find someone to evaluate your coin who has knowledge of this area of coi9n collecting (Colonial)and can identify the variety.

But generally speaking, if the coin is real, and is in what is termed "fine" condition, it could be worth as much as a few thousnad dollars, if not alot more. A fine condition coin will have alot of wear, but still be readable. And just because it can't be seen clearly, it doesn't mean it's not a good coin. The reverse of the 1652 Oak tree issue sometimes comes up very poor because it was struck that way in the beginning. The tree is barely visible due to a poor strike at the mint, and most coins of that variety are the same.

Again, get a few opinions and be sure you have an expert look at it.

A British 1990 22 carat gold Five Pound coin (quintuple Sovereign)(Elizabeth II), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition and the original packaging, could fetch up to £850 GBP.

A British 1990 22 carat gold Five Pound coin (quintuple Sovereign)(Elizabeth II)(Proof FDC), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition and the original packaging, could fetch up to £850 GBP.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

This coin has at least 10 variants with various spelling differences and spelling errors, so this is a very broad valuation.

A British 1770 copper Halfpenny (William III)(depending on the variant), circulated but still in good condition, might fetch anything from £30 to £950 GBP.

NOTE - The reverse of these coins is upside down to the obverse. This is normal.

The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

A British 1831 copper Penny (William IV), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £850 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £18 to £325 GBP.

A British 1831 copper Penny (William IV)(Proof FDC), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £500 GBP.

NOTE - The reverse of these coins is upside down to the obverse. This is normal.

A British 1831 copper Penny (William IV)(Proof FDC)(obverse and reverse aligned), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £550 GBP.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

The worth of a well-worn 1920 rupee coin is about $10, while a rupee in good condition can fetch $100. If the coin was never in circulation, expect it to have a value of $600 or more.

"pence" is simply the plural of penny in the British system and is used for any multiple of coins worth 2p or more.

However "pennies" refers to a group of one-penny coins.

The usage is a bit strange. If you have 10 one-penny coins, you have 10 pennies that are worth 10 pence! If you had one 10p coin, it's said to be worth 10 pence.
