 only ones I really need help with is the 5 ore, I try to do research on it and it comes up either sweden or some other Scandinavian countries, and the 1943 3 pence, there are so many letters on the front that are abbreviated I cant even read it, I'm assuming it may be british or from another country at the time that was under british rule? also need help trying to value these Edited by xAGENTxMULDERx

Three crowns means Sweden for the 5 Ore.
The threepence is indeed from the UK - it looks like it might be in nice shape too.
There's nothing of real value here - though that threepence is the nicest - you could get it for a pound or two here in the UK if you looked around.

The three pence is from Great Britain
The five ore is from Sweden
I'll leave others to value them

Its a Thrift Plant (allium porrum)which is a leek (one left to go to seed very badly by the look of the thre'pence)
Probably a sea pink as stated below - note to self do not accept NGC latin plant names

On the three pence coin the plant is a thrift plant.
I found this definition on Wickepedia.
Sea pink, also known as sea thrift plant, thrift plant and common thrift, is a low-growing perennial evergreen that is hardy in United States Department of Agriculture zones 4 through 8. Growing sea pinks and how to take care of thrift plants is easy.
A pity your threepence was not dated 1937 with Edward VIII as the ruling monarch.
My book shows the value of that coin as £4500.
But as he only ruled from Jan-Dec 1936 only a few were minted for experimental purposes. And only a few got into circulation.

have that liberty token somewhere. I remember it coming in a cereal box perhaps. Fun to see it again. Reminds me of childhood and begining collecting!
