Sixpence GBP in 1852 had the purchasing power of about £1.93 GBP today. NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations by a purpose designed program for which I can take no credit. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation.

One Twelfth of a Shilling, apart from the obvious answer of One Penny, was a coin issued by the States of Jersey from 1877 to 1964. Other fractional denominations included One Twenty-fourth of a Shilling and One Forty-eighth of a Shilling, possibly recognisable as the equivalent of a British Halfpenny and Farthing respectively. Prior to 1877, it was even more confusing with coins such as One Thirteenth of a Shilling, One Twenty-sixth of a Shilling and One Fifty-second of a Shilling.
This is a beautiful silver coin of course - I bought one in very fine condition for $25 in the year 2000. eBay is probably your best bet if you are seeking to buy one. Your local precious metals dealer probably wouldn't give you any more than the silver value if you wanted to sell it - maybe $10-$15.
Since the Bermuda Dollar is nearly at par with the US Dollar, as of 2008, then I'd expect the Bermuda Hog Penny to be about equal to one US Cent. James C. Starbird These coins were minted in the Sommer Islands (now known as Burmuda) about 1616. There are twopence, threepence, sixpence, and shilling coins. They are valued from around $2000 to $10,000, depending on the denomination and condition. The threepence piece is very rare and can bring very near $100,000.

Pictures of a specific coin are difficult to come by. Usually you should be able to find one on eBay, but the picture is withdrawn after the coin is sold. The 1939 Sixpence is almost identical to the 1946 Sixpence shown in the link below.
There were no general circulation British 1924 Threepences minted. The following are the only British Threepences minted in 1924, and you will need a very large bag of money to buy one, if you can find one for sale.

The British 1920 Threepence changed from sterling silver to 50% silver during the course of 1920. There are no obviously apparent visual distinctions between the two types of coin.

The Sixpence had a number of nicknames over the years, the most popular being "Tanner", used since the early 1800's. There are many theories on how the name "Tanner" came to be used, the most popular being it was derived from the Romany Gypsy "tawno" meaning small one.

The Royal Mint did not produce a 1783 Sixpence. Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many counterfeit coins produced. The counterfeit coins are collectible in their own right.
