Hello everyone,

I'm curious about your opinions on a 1900 3 pence. It has really great toning consistent with some maundy money, especially on the denomination side. I wouldn't say that it is prooflike, but there is a slight cameo effect to the portrait and it is well struck--better than the pictures suggest. It's quite a challenge taking photos of the 3 pence, let alone the penny! Thanks for your help.

Yep! It's a Maundy.
The details are more sharply struck, it is not normally a condition thing. It is how well it has been struck.

However, if a Maundy 3d has been circulated, and is below good EF, it is almost impossible to say for sure that it is a Maundy or not.

Hi sel_69l,

Thanks for bringing the good news. I felt that this was the case, but I'm not sure how literally to take the "prooflike" description these coins usually get. I have seen some that were obviously struck on highly polished planchets, but this seems to be more true of the later maundy coins (KEVII, GV)...
