None of the coins are rare and condition will be everything; for example the 1897 halfcrown could be worth anything from pure bullion value (maybe a couple of quid) to £150 for a superb example. Your best bet would be to post pictures on here, and we'll try to help.

Please find uploaded pictures of the 1912 Florin,

Hope these are ok but never done this before.

If they are ok I can upload a few more

It's a little blurred, but on what I can see, I would assess the condition as Nearly Fine/Fine and with a value of perhaps £2-3. It would be difficult to sell such an item singly other than on e-bay and if you did want to sell, you would have to start with a very low opening figure of perhaps a few pence.

I hope this isn't too disappointing, but coins in low grade are really very common indeed. On the other hand, we all have to start somewhere and acquiring a small low-value collection as you have done, is the kicking off point for many collectors.

If you have caught the bug, it would be worth your while acquiring one or more of the books above (especially Collectors Coins GB) and look out for a new title early next year explaining how to grade coins.
