I have in my possession this UK Threepence coin with some really big burrs on the rim. Is this common for this coin, and is it worth getting the coin graded? Thanks in advance for any input.

It is impossible to strike a coin with these on. Probably used to make some form of jewellery. No extra value as this is a form of damage to the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
