It's impossible to answer this without knowing the precise denomination, condition, and dates of all your coins. As a rough guide, any silver coin dated before 1947 is 50% real silver, and if dated before 1920 is almost entirely silver.

There are rare dates, too many to list here, but the condition of coins is at least as important. If yours is a large accumulation (or even collection?), then you could do worse than arm yourself with Collectors Coins GB which you can buy from Amazon if you click the link above.

If the Penny is average circulation then a few pence only.

Silver pre 47 is making 8-10x face and pre 20 double that.....don't forget though that a sixpence is only 2.5 pence

If you look on Ebay there are 1000's of worthless coins for sale but you might get some ideas on prices.
