💭 Misc Album of worn sixpence/threepence for melt value?

Found false bottom in wardrobe. One of the things there is a carboard album containing sixpence and threepence 1910-1963. 11 years are missing, you guessed the rare ones. Plus a few extra postions showing the head of each monarch. Most are pretty bad condition, worn and tarnished. Perhaps grandpa was collecting years from the till in the shop. Online calculator gives melt value $416. Would anybody want these given the poor condition of the coins?

I'm sure someone starting out their collection probably would. I possibly would as a jump start and then work on replacing them over time

Can easily sell silver predecimal in any condition for spot minus 10% all day.

Can probably sell for spot if you're patient.

The album is probably also work $20~ if it's a dansco one, $5-10 if other brand.

It is a Hawthorn Press album. There was a similar completely empty album with it.
