Dated 1962, you have a modern coin, Julie. It is worth face value. If you have a specimen in terrific numismatic condition, i.e., never been circulated, a coin collector would pay a few US dollars to add it to his or her collection. There are no special dates in this series: all years are common.
You have to go back to Queen Victoria, pre-1900, before 6 pence coins start to pick up any collector value. Even then, a 1890 6 pence fetches only about $10 in average circulated condition!

Medieval Great Britain (Scandinavian York) Viking Penny with Sword (Fakes are possible) 900AD to 950AD

In the late 800s, vikings from Scandinavia invaded England and, after 100 years or so, became assimilated into medieval society there. Coins of the era and region bear several different patterns. This pattern is called 'St. Peter's Sword' or 'Sword and Hammer.' The inscriptions are difficult to read, but spell SCIIE TPIIO in two lines, separated by the sword image.
The silver penny shown at the upper left is a genuine coin from the York Vikings. It is in absolutely gorgeous condition, and sold for 6500 British pounds (about $8000 US dollars) during a 2015 auction by Spink. CoinQuest thanks Spink for use of their coin photo. A similar coin in worse condition would still be worth several thousand US dollars.
As with all valuable coins, replicas and counterfeits are often found. The image to the right shows a popular modern reproduction of the York Viking penny. Such reproductions are worth a few US dollars.

1863: worth $1200 in average circulated
If you become interested in coin collecting, a little knowledge goes a long way with this series of coins. There are several small nuances in some coins that make them quite a bit more valuable than normal specimens. These nuances are beyond the ken of CoinQuest, but it might be worth your while to investigate further, especially if your coin is free of problems such as scratches, stains, cleanings, nicks, or gouges. Find knowledgeable collector or professional coin dealer for an in-person appraisal.

That is a blue crane on the back of these neat coins from South Africa. The pattern on the front changes on some coins, but the back with the blue crane stays the same. All of these coins are modern and made of non-precious metal. The value is low:
worn: less than $1 US dollar approximate catalog value
average circulated: less than $1
well preserved: $1
fully uncirculated: $2

Great Britain 6 Pence, Shilling, Crown and Half Crown 1662 to 1699
CoinMy coinbase account

Wow, Tommy. What a neat coin. You have an old British crown from Charles (Carolus) the second, who reigned in Europe from 1660 to 1685. These old crowns are always valuable, especially when they are in good condition.
NEVER CLEAN A COIN. CLEANING RUINS VALUE.
Look at our picture of your coin. Most specimens are much more worn than this one. This picture comes from PetitionCrown.com, which is a tasteful and informative web site that deals with rare British coinage. Please click to their page about Charles II for more images and historical descriptions.
CoinQuest thanks PetitionCrown for use of their coin image. It is a beauty!
As to value, highly worn coins like this sell retail for around $100 US dollars or so. As condition improves, value goes up, as long as there are no problems with the coin, such as scratches, dents, stains, and cleanings. Use our Terminology page to understand the ins-and-outs of coin evaluation.

I am concerned, Tommy, that you indicate 'little or no wear' for your coin. This is very exciting, because you might have a truly valuable piece. But it can be detrimental, because rare coins are often counterfeited. If you like, please use the Contact Us page to start and e-mail exchange with CoinQuest and we can discuss this further, especially if you have pictures of your coin. Alternately, seek out coin authentication services PCGS, NGC, ICG, or ANACS on the web. These people will authenticate your coin for a fee. Do not use other services.

These are novelty items made by enhancing an uncirculated American Silver Eagle (ASE) bullion coin. Currently these items sell as novelty pieces for $50 or $60 US dollars. A normal ASE contains one troy ounce of pure silver and these sell at about the current price of silver. Use a web site like kitco.com to look up the current silver price.
For a normal untreated Silver Eagle, the value is figured by starting with the spot value of pure silver (per kitco above) then adding premiums for the fact that the precious metal has been struck into a coin and backed by the US government. Then add dealer's margin and you quickly get to the $30 to $35 mark. The value of silver changes every day, so be sure to look it up.
A coin treated with paint, stencil, or other method has been defaced, so it is worth essentially nothing to coin collectors. Painting a coin is one of the most severe methods of damaging it in the eyes of numismatists (coin collectors). If you try to sell your coin to a collector, he or she will not buy it for more than the raw silver content. If you put it one eBay, a non-collector may buy it for the $50 or $60 price. If you try to sell it to the owner of a novelty shop, he or she will probably pay one half of the retail value, or less.
