Answer
Hi John,

All of these pieces are common dates. Assuming that they're all well circulated pieces that were saved from circulation in the late 1960s (when decimal coins were introduced), virtually all of them are of relatively low value (ie. 10p-15p each). The 1921 and 1937 sixpences are made of .500 silver, and thus contain 30p worth of silver each.

I would require further information on the 1844 piece to assist with identifying it.

I hope this helps!
