British Coins

A British 1835 Threepence, uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £50 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch up to £8 to £65 GBP. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

A British 1967 cupro-nickel Halfcrown (Elizabeth II), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £2 GBP. If it has been circulated, not much.

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 Royal Mint produced no Halfpenny coins from 1776 to 1798 inclusive.

Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many privately minted tokens and counterfeit coins produced.

The Fred Duke of York coins are such a token and, depending on their condition, could get anything from £5 to £30 GBP.

One Penny GBP in 1730 had the purchasing power of about £0.55 GBP today.

You do not specify whose Silver Jubilee or the country the coin comes from.

If you got the coin in your change, it is probably only worth whatever is inscribed on it.

A British 1735 copper Halfpenny (George II), circulated but still in good condition, might fetch anything from £12 to £330 GBP.

A Threepence is a denomination of the old predecimal British currency system and dates back to the time of Edward VI. The Threepenny coin was also used by many other Commonwealth countries.

From 1831, the Threepence was made from 92.5% silver, but from 1920 onwards, the silver content was reduced to 50%.

From 1937, the British Threepence was redesigned as a dodecagonal (12 sided) coin and was made from a nickel brass alloy. The 50% silver coin and the dodecagonal coin circulated side by side until 1945.

Since 1816, the round silver Threepence was 16 mm in diameter and weighed 1.4138 grams and had a plain edge, and was last minted in 1945.

The dodecagonal (12 sided) nickel brass Threepence was 21-22 mm in diameter and weighed 6.8 grams and had a plain edge. It was first minted in 1937 and last minted in 1967.

A Threepenny coin represented Three Pennies (3d) or, quarter of a Shilling.

It was also known to many as the "thrupenny bit" and the sum of three pence was pronounced "throopence" "threppence" or "thruppence" in various regions of Great Britain.

At Britains conversion to decimal currency in February, 1971, the Threepence had no new decimal equivalent coin, but was equal to 1.25 New Pence in the new currency.

The Threepence ceased to be Legal Tender after 31-Aug-1971.

From a coin collectors perspective, a Threepence, depending on the year, condition and method of minting, could be worth anything from a few pence to several thousand pounds GBP.

Please note that since the Threepence is part of a redundant or obsolete currency, it no longer has an "exchange rate" with other currencies.

Still worth 50 cents. Unless its pure silver.

Pictures of a specific coin are difficult to come by. Usually you should be able to find one on eBay, but the picture is withdrawn after the coin is sold.

Modified coins have no collector value, any value would be associated with the ring.

The new design British general circulation non-commemorative coins issued since 2008 have parts of the Royal Shield on them which, when placed together, show the Royal Shield (with a few bits missing).

The Bank of England 10 Shilling note was withdrawn from circulation and ceased to be legal tender in November 1970, therefore it has no exchange rate with any current currency. At decimalisation, it converted to 50 New Pence.

Ten Shillings GBP in 1970 had the purchasing power of about £5.20 GBP today.

Ten Shillings GBP in 1970 had the purchasing power of about $8.27 USD today.

There are no Queen Victoria coins dated 1837, which was the year she came to the throne. The first issue of Queen Victoria coins was in 1838. All 1837 coins have King William IV on the front.

You most likely have a souvenir medal or medallion produced for her coronation or one of her Jubilee years in 1862, 1887 or 1897.

Henry VIII was a bit of a revolutionary and introduced several new coins in to the currency.

The Five Shilling coin you query is most likely the gold "Crown of the double-rose" featuring Henry and Katherine of Aragon.
