threepence coin

[Guest gmarkey]

Hi, wondering if anyone can tell me if a 1876 jubilee head threepence coin is worth anything? Has a "young head" and letters around it are "VICTORIA D:G:BRITANNIA R:REGINA F:D". I'd say it's in good condition at best.

The Queen Victoria jubilee head was used 1887 to 1893 so it's not a jubilee head coin, it's a young head type, as you also mention!

If it's all readable but pretty worn then It's worth about £1 - £2. Post a picture if you like. I sell them in average worn condition to be

used in Christmas puddings....housewives across the land can't get enough of them at Christmas time!

Sincerest thanks for your reply and link to Christmas Pudding story. Quite entertaining! Guess my best option is to make pudding this Christmas? Wanted to check to make sure this was not a special coin someone would want to add to a collection, not everyday your husband pulls a coin from 1876 out of his pocket. Again, many thanks for responding.
