The Christopher Ironside reverse design British Ten Pence coin was last minted for general circulation in 2008 with approximately 9.72 million minted.

The Matthew Dent designed 2008 Ten Pence coin, superseded the Christopher Ironside design. There were approximately 71.45 million minted.

Both coins are still in circulation, and neither is considered to be rare.

The British 1937 Edward VIII Threepence (silver or brass) was never issued into circulation since he abdicated prior to the release of coins bearing his name and likeness. It is currently thought that a few brass coins may have escaped during testing in vending machines.

The British 1937 George VI general circulation silver Threepence is not rare. There were over 8 million minted.

The British 1937 George VI Threepence (Matt Proof FDC - silver and brass) are both of the highest rarity.

The George VI 1937 brass threepences were mass produced and have little if any value.

Further information

On a couple of occasions I have spotted the 1937 Edward VIII Brass Threepence up for sale (reverse design is different). Once in the SPINK CIRCULAR catalogue in 1990 for £28,000. More recently one has been up for sale at around the £35,000 mark. It is believed around 30-40 of these were struck and issued to manufacturers for testing purposes in cigarette machines. Some were not returned and these are those that are still around today.

In Manchester-based Colin Cooke's April 2011 catalogue item 644 is a Edward VIII Trial Die for the proposed nickel brass threepence. Dated 1936 with star of David in Centre and the obverse showing the word 'MODEL'. There are only 2 specimens believed known of this trial die and the dealer is asking £3,750 for it.

The British Sixpence was issued for over 400 years.

There are no 20th century general circulation Sixpences that could be considered to be rare.

The 1878 Sixpence had some problems and there are some documented errors with some of them.

BRITANNIAR spelled incorrectly as DRITANNIAR

British 10 Pence coins were first issued in 1968 and are still being issued. There have been hundreds of millions of them minted, so they are definitely not rare.

The 12 sided nickel-brass Threepence was very common until decimalisation in 1971.

When did the British 20 Pence coin come into circulation?

The British 20 Pence coin was first issued on the 9th of June, 1982. The 20p denomination was first minted in 1982. It was introduced to help with change-making, because people were finding themselves awash in 10p coins. The situation was made worse because at that time the 10p coin was the same huge size as the old florin that it replaced after decimalisation. The 20p coin is also notable because it was the first decimal coin to have its denomination expressed simply in pence rather than "new pence".
