Themonkeytree1 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 06/25/2017 08:53 am I recently obtained a few coins when my father passed. All the coins were U.S. coins except the 1944 threepence of which I have included photos. It appears that the mint made an error in the metal makeup of the coin. I am not sure whether the bright metal on the back of the coin is silver or nickel. It does not seem to darken or tarnish. Also, notice the lighter area around the ear on the front. The metal almost pushed through from the back. I would like to know how to proceed with having my coin graded, if it is even worth it. I was hoping the mint error would increase the value. Should I send the coin in to a U.S. grading firm since I live in Texas? Would you be willing to share a suggested worth? Answers to these questions and any other advise would be welcomed. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

nss-52 Moderator United States 54280 Posts	Posted 06/25/2017 12:32 pm My opinion is that it is not a mint error at all. What I see is "damage" caused by addition of some unknown substance to the surface of the coin. A 1944 3 pence is not a rare coin. Report this Post to the Staff

As nss-52 says, this is a common coin and you can find them in dealer's junk boxes all over the UK for 10p or so.
