What is the value of a half a penny 1960 British coin?

British Pennies are made to a specific size and weight. A penny half the thickness of a normal penny is either terribly worn, making it just about worthless, or it is a token of some description.

What is 1 guinea in US Dollars?

Well, there are a few ways to answer this question. The guinea was a gold British machine struck coin that eventually had the value of 1 pound and 1 shilling. In the pre-decimal system there were 20 shillings to the pound and 12 pence to the shilling. Eventually the guinea was superseded by the sovereign, a gold coin worth 1 pound.

The difficulty in answering your question is that the guinea no longer really exists, technically it would be worth 1.10 pounds if you did a straight conversion of currency and converting the pre-decimal amount to the post-decimal amount, which would equal to about $1.76 US.

However, since neither the UK or the US is on the gold standard anymore, the actual price of a gold guinea is much, much higher than $1.76, also, the pound has been devalued much more to the US than historically (historically there have been about 4 pounds in each US dollar, or about 5 shillings to the dollar). So if you have a physical guinea, post a new question including the date and an estimate of condition and we can find you a value for that coin.
If you mean the Guinea in the UK, it is no longer used. It was worth 21 schillings (252 pence), where the pound was worth 20 schillings (240 pence). It was used to pay for certain services, kind of like a built in tip. If you mean the currency of the country Guinea, 1 US Dollar is worth about 6521 Guinea Franc.

What is the value of a 1980 British Half New Penny?

The decimal New Half Penny and Half Penny coins were last issued for circulation in 1983 and were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in December 1984.

What is the value of a Bailiwick of Jersey 20 Pence 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 Ten Pence in Jersey.

The larger pre-1991 10 Pence coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1993. 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 have little or no value.

The Bailiwick of Jersey currency (JEP) is pegged at par with the British Pound Sterling (GBP) and the Jersey decimal coinage is near identical in dimensions, composition and history to the equivalent British coins. Jersey currency is "legal tender" only in Jersey, but may be regarded as "acceptable tender" in Britain.

How much is new 5 pence coin worth if there are no serrations on the edge and it is struck slightly off centre?

These little minting accidents happen from time to time.

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.

What is the value of a 1979 British set of proof coins?

I suspect that you are asking about the 1970 British Proof set - the maroon cardboard cover is labeled "Coinage of Great Britain" on the top line, "and Northern Ireland" on the bottom line and "LSD" [it should actually be "£sd", the symbols for Pounds, Shillings and Pence] and "1970" in the middle in large type. The official name of the country is actually the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"; hence the labeling.

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, the set is valued at US$24 in the original packaging, although in my experience they are generally sold in the $15-$20 range.
