George V 1911 3d Currency or Maundy?

Recommended Posts

The 1911 maundy 3d uses Obv2 I of BRITT to bead, whereas the proof 3d is Obv1 I to gap.

What obverse do the the circulation coins have?

Obverses 1 and 2 were used for currency threepences, along with two reverses A and B. Not sure whether all 4 combinations exist, Gary D will be able to confirm whether 1+B exists or not.

Ah, thanks.

Is there an up-to-date reference book that covers this? I have a copy of English Silver Coinage but it doesn't seem to go into that sort of detail.

I can thoroughly recommend David Groom's book:

I have the 1+A, 2+A and 2+B. I've never seen a 1+B.

Thank you, I'll look into that.

For 19th century stuff is British Silver Coins Since 1816 a good reference?

Thanks for the information.

Dave Groom's book gives you for 1900-on everything in Davies and more. I 'd just stick to Dave's book if you aren't interested in pre 1900.

Yes, Davies is the "bible" since 1816, though Dave's book is really good for 20thC. For pre-1816 milled you would need to add English Silver Coinage since 1672 (ESC - Raynor) though that does need updating in the light of more recent varieties discovered.

Thanks again for the advice. I'm interested in 1816 - 1970 so I'll probably look into both books. Too many books isn't a bad thing (much like coins).
