It is stressed that the following prices are a guide only, and in UK pounds. I can take no personal responsibility for their accuracy, although every effort has been made to ensure that they have been copied correctly.

Condition Grades

The headings F, VF, EF and Unc refer to the condition grades of the coins. A guide to evaluating grades is found on my UK Coin Values Index page.

Proof coins relatively often found are listed, but the absence of a mention does not mean that a proof of that year does not exist.


Unlisted Threepence Coins

If you have a threepence coin with a date not listed, it was part of a Maundy Set. Silver threepence from 1927 onwards with a crowned three on the reverse are Maundy Coins.

It is beyond the scope of this listing to quote values for individual Maundy Coins. However, an approximate value can be found by dividing the value of a Maundy Set by four.

Extracted from Coin News November 2003

The lack of a value for a grade means either that the coin is rarely found in that grade or that its value is less than £1.

If you have a silver threepence coin with a date not listed, it was part of a Maundy Set.


Quick find by reign:

James II : William & Mary : William III : Anne : George I : George II : George III : George IV : William IV : Victoria : Edward VII : George V : George VI : Elizabeth II

Help and Advice

I would be grateful if you could search the site carefully before mailing me - the answers to the great majority of the questions that I am asked can be found on this site, and I am unlikely to reply quickly to such questions. In particular, I do NOT provide a valuation service.

If you have done this and still wish to ask for advice, feel free to mail me via my Advice page but please do not send me unsolicited scans or other binary files.
