atlashealth Pillar of the Community United States 1691 Posts	Posted 03/29/2009 2:42 pm I know that Sovereigns gave out 1,2,3,4 pence silver sets to the poor in a Maundy ceremony, but how do you tell a common 3 pence silver coin from a Maundy 3 pence piece? Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 03/30/2009 4:34 pm G'day, I disagree with E'zento. I believe that maundy and normal 3d & 4d were the same sizes, respectively. For many years, the maundy & normal 3d are indistinguishable. The circulation silver 4d had a Britannia reverse, so there's no problem there. Peter passing through Dubbo Report this Post to the Staff

Maundy coins are usually better struck and more prooflike. That's the only way to tell... Report this Post to the Staff
