2 Pence 1710 & 1834

[Citizen H]

2 Pence

Queen Anne 1710 

William IV 1834 

I got wondering, as these don't seem to have been minted in high numbers..... so need to ask are these considered to be rarities ?

Although the mintage of Maundy coins is not high, they do mostly survive in good condition as they are not circulating coins. In addition, Maundy coins are minted every year. I don't think Maundy "odds" (i.e. not in complete sets) are considered to be rare.

The 1834 is definitely Maundy as by that time the small silvers (1 and 2 pence) were not in general circulation.

The 1710 twopence was both included in Maundy sets but also in general circulation. I found the smaller silvers easy to pick up quite cheaply throughout the 17th and 18th centuries (with only a few really scarce dates).
