Maundy 1929 threepence

Hi!

I'd like to have your opinion on the coin I bought this weekend :



What is his grade for you?
And his value?

Thanks,

Antoine

I would say a very nice VF.

But I have another question: this coin is indicated as Maundy money in catalogues, but wasn't it the regular, circulating 3d as well? Not just Maundy money?

Hi!

From 1928 to 1936 this coin was only minted for maundy sets

Ah, I see. Forgot to verify the exact year.

But I didn't recognize it as 'prooflike' in the first place. And both obverse and reverse show many tiny scratch marks which betray that the coin circulated some time. It didn't receive the attention it was destined for at birth. Poor thing

There were Three Pence struck for circulation but the reverse design was of the 3 Oak leaves with 3 acorns.

If I was selling your coin, in VF condition I would ask £10

Thank you Walder

I paid 1€ so no regret  

Thats a great buy, congrats

In France it's easier to make great buys on British coins.

I'm guessing not a lot of French collectors buy British coins. Apparently a lot of British antiques dealers go to France with vans and lorries to buy antiques to bring back to the UK and sell.

Yes - and I am glad they do, as quite a few of the French medallions and plaquettes I have in my collection came from UK sellers (so cheaper postage for me).
