Value depends largely on the condition of the coin. The ebay pictures are great...you get the general idea but could receive the coin and find many scratches.
Do you have your own coin like this or are you thinking about bidding on the ebay coin?
If you own the coin: Your best bet would be to take your coin to a local coin dealer. They will be able to tell you more by evaluating the condition of the coin. They will also know the amount minted and what it is going for in today's market.
You can also post pictures on this website (there are many coin experts here that can help you evaluate it - there also may be people willing to buy if you are trying to sell):

If you are thinking about buying the coin I don't know that I would recommend it. You could be buying a lemon. The seller does not have a lot of feedback and the negative one might be a warning to stay away.
Good luck!

Well it is not a scarce item with a mintage of 8,157,600 it has the second highest mintage of Edward VII threepence. The one pictured seems to have been graded correctly. The price is a little high and with postage it is not worth it. The coin would sell here in the states for $3 or so, but more in the UK. On world coins, value depends on the country the coin is in. Very few in the U.S. collect threepence coins, but they do in GB as well as the Commonwealth countries. Value is not cut and dry like a lot of people think. The only good on line auctions do is bring a coin to the attention of people collecting that series. One does not have to find a buyer like they used too. Coin books for $2 up to $20 in circulated grades and book value is usually way high. Hope this helps some.

I don't know how much it's worth, but a word of advice... if you are hoping to get a "good deal" on it by winning the auction, it might be unwise to post the link to the ebay item itself...
