The less common ones are 1912, 1915, 1921/2 overdate, 1923, 1942 no mintmark and 1947.
Otherwise if they're 1936 or earlier and are uncirculated or close to it they'd be worth a bit.

Does anybody know if the 1953 and 1954 threepence coins are good to collect as I have both of them.Both are in great condition.

 Hi there, As long as the coins are in natural condition (not cleaned / polished) the 1951 no mintmark (check at the base of the wheat stalks if they have P on the left, and L on the right it is a mintmark coin from london) is collectible The 1953 and 1954 are also quite collectible. |

1951 PL is the second most common threepence after the 1963. 1953 amd 1954 are a bit harder.

Its hard to tell from the photos but could be anywhere between gVF and UNC. Lots of detail remaining.

Very nice  I think its at least VF a closer look at the crown would help to see the Diamonds and Pearls better. |

Hard to get a decent photo in the holder at night but it has 8 pearls and lots of lustre I picked it up a few weeks ago on ebay and is definately a keeper |

Deano, the 6d was the 5c equivalent (and still the exact same size). 3d is equal to 2.5 cents.
