It was for a long time believed that all that have been drilled / pierced would be not be of any value, the same with rubbed and dinged coins. I did in the past mainly scrapped certain coins to free up capital to buy others, now at my age I feel that my thoughts have changed. the volume of ones that you have found on line that are drilled / pierced are being valued at a price that I'd never considered......the 1678 Charles II 3 pence would have only been a few pence 35 odd years ago found at a boot fair, same with the hammered coins I picked up pre internet days, its been a interesting day finding out about the Counterstamp coin that's a recent find again so I'm more inclined to hang on to the affordable unusual...I could be looking for perfect, mint and uncirculated forever..... many thanks its been very informative. as always.... all the best "H"

1673 Charles II 3 pence ( Maundy? to be advised) Before the Great Recoinage of 1817, there is no known evidence to suggest that separate 'prooflike' strikes were issued for the Maundy ceremony, suggesting that the money handed out was identical to the circulating coinage at that time. 1670-1684 Demonetized the pierce of the coin is a shame but ok enough for me to keep and the price would have reflected this at the time of purchase.........all them years ago

hello Paddy, more delving into Sovereigns has provided more information Minting error in the word 'BRITANNIARUM'. A reversed Roman numeral '1' has been used instead of the second letter 'I'. yours has 15 above the rose that's a London Mint number, interestingly I've found that x 2 of mine have S, Sydney Australia mint mark. another uneducated purchase on my part that turned out nicely.

Hello Mike, Until I arrived here , I'd bought from boot fairs, my lessons being here have been about just because its old wont make it valuable, Ive some very old un's that look like its been rubbed to hell and back, its been educational and still loads more to learn about. ....& don't be afraid to show and tell and do ask loads of questions.... being here is in good company. and welcome rgds "H"

Awwwwwww you know you could be right........ there was talk that Grandfather has stress, post war and used to rub it to preoccupy his mind and hands... was a story but like your suggestion, all the best "H"

moving onwards, this may be a challenge. the coin (Half Penny) has a story and interestingly it dates 1914.
