patersc Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 03/09/2011 2:27 pm Hi Members. A friend of mine recently said that my proof example of this year was "rather common" and not rare. Yet is the number of proofs minted not in the hundreds? Does a small proof strike even though many more ordinary strikes are produced not added to the value? Surely the fact that it came from one of those lovely sets not added to the appreciation? I would greatly appreciate thoughts on this odd situation. Regards, Patersc. Report this Post to the Staff

chris wren New Member United Kingdom 30 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 11:31 am This should be the Jubilee Head issue and, has been said above, 1887 was the jubilee year so there are large numbers and silver threepences are not very strongly collected as a series so demand is relatively low (compared say with halfcrowns and other large denominations). The general RETAIL price for this coin is about £65 or so. Chris Wren Report this Post to the Staff
