Or do all the reverses on old English coins look the same?" - for a long time, 1845~1927, the two types of 3d had the same design, although, apparently, the Maundy coins were better struck than the coins minted for general circulation.

Given the hole drilled at the top, it's probably not worth too much more than that. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Gothic Florin Pillar of the Community United States 2541 Posts	Posted 05/09/2009 09:08 am The reverse of these coins hardly changed for 300 years. I have a few of the Victorian ones and was considering building out a little collection! Report this Post to the Staff
m4rc1 New Member Canada 35 Posts	Posted 05/09/2009 4:14 pm I figure that my coin is no longer interesting to be collected since it gets his hole in it. Report this Post to the Staff
xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 05/09/2009 4:24 pm The hole probably lowers the value slightly, but it is still collectible. I have a bunch of coins with holes Sometimes they are worn on a necklace, maybe for luck? and it's fun to wonder about the history and who did it, how long it was worn, etc. I'd keep it!
