Best to take them for an evaluation to a specialist coin collector or dealer you can find them in yellow pages.
I've got a large collection of very old coins aswell,maybe its time i should get them valued aswell.

you should be bothered because you might have a rare coin that might be worth more than you think.
It might be worth the extra effort to get a professional evaluation,i certainly will with my lot.

Yeah mate, don't just sell the, take them to a specialist.
They could be worth a lot and well you don't really wnat to just sell them like that. Get them valued them Ebay them with that value in mind.

Have a look on Ebay for what similar coins are going for to get an idea.
I remember something about some 1933 coins being worth a lot as there are only a few of some in existence (I think they're pennies rather than half pennies though) try doing a google search on each as well.
Don't think the Di coin's worth much, there's lots about.

@sammy
I think you might be thinking about Edward VIII in 1936. There were a relatively small number of variously valued coins minted with his head upon them before he abdicated the thrown to marry Wallis Simpson. Some of these surviving coins are worth serious money.
