Question
1917 king george V 3 pence coin
1937 king george V1 crown
1953 ELIZABETH 11 FIVE SHILLING + 1960 COIN
ARE THEY WORTH KEEPING AND IS THERE ANY REAL VALUE TO THEM

Answer
The 3 Pence is worth about 50 cents for the silver content, other than that  it is pretty common.

The 1937 crown has about $14 worth of silver in it (.84 oz pure silver)

The 1953 5 Shillings (crown) is copper nickel and really has no value.  Assuming the 1960 is a crown also, no value
