Mckinley_4th Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 02/08/2018 7:34 pm Need help grading! I'm surprised you can still see all the details and jewelry she's wearing since this was found in a recently emptied change jar that I cashed in almost 3 months ago and just started refilling again! But I don't know when or where I got it from, but it's pretty cool and in ok shape! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 02/08/2018 8:29 pm Looks like a Maundy coin. Because the British grading standards are different I won't even try to assign a grade. Report this Post to the Staff

They also drive on the wrong side of the road.... Seriously, yes, it could be a Maundy coin, but I'm not sure how to verify that once one becomes separated from the rest of the set, and from what I can tell, there isn't necessarily a big difference in value, anyway, at least for this particular issue. The surfaces on your example look a bit "grainy" to me, but overall a very attractive piece with virtually all the details extant.

NJcoppers Valued Member United States 184 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 9:06 pm To me it looks like EF-45. The surfaces seem a bit dark/grainy, maybe the photo flash/light or angle. Here are some fairly current market values: http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/values/three.html Report this Post to the Staff
Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 11:06 pm I agree VF...with the appearance of granularity. KK Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 11:23 pm Can't figure out why it has such a granular appearance. In this condition with the granularity, it is impossible to say if it was, or is Maundy, and I have about 15 Maundy coins. In pristine (gem) condition, the currency threepences are valued at more than the Maundy coins in the same condition. The reason for that is due to the fact that the Maundy coins were kept as heirlooms, and all of the curency threepences saw heavy circulation, survivors in gem condition thus very rare. They can be distinguished apart by the fact that the Maundy coins have a sharper strike, (fewer coins came off the dies, and are often DMPL, like Morgans). VF (British grading), but I am not keen on the granularity. Edited by sel_69l 02/10/2018 11:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
