It's important to separate those questions.
No, they likely don't have much monetary value. If you were going to ask about having them slabbed, that'd be money you would not recoup.
If you like them, yes, it's worth keeping them. If so, definitely protect the surfaces. A cardboard flip is not very expensive.
Collect what you enjoy, period. Never worry about whether your way of collecting offends people who think their vision of the hobby is the only permissible outlook, and who thus scorn all others. There are very many different ways and styles of collecting and none of them are fundamentally wrong. Some styles won't generate big bucks in value, but that does not make them wrong.

Greenstang, where I benefit from a microscope (not sure about an endoscope; don't own one) is to examine for cleaning evidence, get a closer look at residue, and in some cases confirm or reject variety information such as RPMs. Sometimes when I can't get the picture at 10x, 30x can make a big difference. It might also be that you just have better vision and don't need the assistance.

From a money standpoint, only if you thought it might get a special designation. CW mag said $80 for a 64. We all know that those numbers tend to be artificially high, so $60 might be more realistic--pretty low relative to slabbing cost, especially when you might get a details grade or body bag (or whatever they call it now when they find a reason not to slab or grade). Doesn't mean it isn't a nice coin, just that demand isn't that high in that grade.

I would say study.lmao

Can't tell from the photos whether what I see is small amounts of residual mint luster in protected areas, but for EF, that's one thing my book says you've got to have. Sometimes takes very good magnification to see some remaining flow lines. The obverse photo is much harder to judge because I can't get a clear look at the cotton leaves and bolls, which are among the primary indicators.

I kind of wonder. I see the thinking, but the pattern seems a little too consistent for the normal woodgrain look. Most of the woodgrain I see has highlights that stayed lighter, rather than ones that grew much darker. Not saying it definitely isn't, but am saying I would like to see it under a microscope where one could perhaps assess whether the dark stripes are some form of crudulation from contact with something (evidently nothing abrasive, rule that out), or whether they are baked into the metal.

Seems like if you can afford a million dollars in silver, you can afford ten acres out in the boonies--out of an urban area or military base's likely demolition radius, and outside rationally imaginable flood and seismic activity situations--where you could bury a bunch of it in sealed containers under a boulder. Set up a big tent like you are camping, but cut most of the floor away so none of the local Woolly Swamp brigade can see you digging away. Then dig another hole nearby, worse concealed, containing about eight silver-plated iron bars (if you have a million bucks in silver, you can afford this too), well wrapped. That way, if Team Cletus spies on you and later comes back to take ol' Lucius's money, fair chance they pick the wrong spot and dig up the plated iron.

If you can get hold of a bunch of craptacular cast counterfeit Chinese coins to include, even better. Or a bunch of fake Continental Dollars and 1804 silver dollars (you could buy them on here once a week each or so, perhaps).

I'm guessing a kid put it in a vise, took time to align it with care, then started cranking the windlass. Or whatever the cranking handle is called.

I would see if I could build a friendly relationship with your local dealer (some of them are basically personality-disordered and/or are Aspies and it's not plausible, but try). Dealers take in *spoon*tons of old binders full of old plastic album pages. If you secure your coins in flips, it won't matter much what material the old pages are made of. If your dealer liked you, and you asked him to save you some of the old pages, he might be willing to do so, especially if you bought something (anything) every time you came in. Dealers respect regulars, even small-spending regulars. Most know that small collectors can evolve into big collectors.
What I would do is take them all off the dealer's hands (he would normally throw most of them away), then chuck the rattiest ones and use the better ones. As for inexpensive supplies, I don't think there's a cheaper way than cardboard flips. Those I would buy or obtain new, because older flips can contain materials detrimental to coins.

I would store it in a box of Hummels, underneath them. Those things are so worthless and the only people who want to look around in a box of Hummels are elderly ladies who could generally be counted on not to jack your silver (and who mostly couldn't carry off too much even if they did).

I don't think it gets 5FS.

Hey Mason,
Have you figured out yet why nobody else on here believes what you're saying??? It's because of this guy, and the TV ad tagline for the company he represents:
 

"We know a few things because we've seen a few things."

You can wear disposable cloth gloves, or they also make these little disposable rubber fingertips I call leprechaun condoms. It's also good to have a pair of plastic coin tongs.

I won’t tell I will show proofs that is🕺🏼

Just had them summited to pcgs by a png dealer! So sorry there not normal !

Be sure to post your results, when you get your grades.

I don't see anything there that jumps out as rare. They resemble what can be found in assortment bins for 10-25c.

Thank you for the info!!

As a collector, also based in the UK, I thought I would contribute to this thread - my Dad used to call the brass threepence 'shrapnel' as it was very heavy to have a pocket full of change and much preferred shillings and pennies instead, as a result we always had bags of brass 3d's which went back to the bank so people didn't have to carry them around!
Proofs were issued in sets in 1937, 1950, 1951, 1953 (plus special proofs from sand blasted dies) and 1970 which were available to the public, there are proofs for the other years but these are very rare and are often referred to a 'VIP proofs' although the term 'proof of record' has been used alot over the last couple of years, the Stacks example in this thread is one of these. Coincraft's Standard catalogue of English & UK Coins 1066 to Date has a full list, including the 'VIP Proofs'. It is only worth collecting Elizabeth II issues in Brilliant Unicirculated and these later dates are usually available for a $/£1 or so at the most and some coin dealers here in the UK will sell them by the bagful which would work out at about 10 pence each which is why there are very few graded examples of these coins - the rare 1946 and 1949 issues being the exception.
The 1965 example in this thread is a circulation issue and damaged resulting in verdegris on the surface (which can have slightly different colours and change with time and the conditions the coin is kept in) and is effectively worthless. I can recommend 'The Standard Guide to Grading British Coins' by Derek Allen as I have found this useful of the years - now seems to be available in paperback.

Clear pics of both sides are essential. Weight would also be very helpful. Without those, we literally won't know what we're talking about.

I think our club (Willamette CC, Portland, OR) has discussed the idea but never done one. Club's been around thirty years; you'd think we'd feel all commemoraty.

One of the traditions of  Catholic weddings in Mexico, and other countries, is for the groom to give the bride an Arras, a container of 13 gold, silver, or base metal coins or tokens, to symbolize his ability to take care of her financially. Your token looks like one of these. Since it is not fancy and has no wording, it is presumably one of the cheaper versions.
