Charles II Coin - Twopence I think?

[Guest johnkelly]

Hi all,

I recently found a box of old coins in our house, which I think belonged to my grandfather/granduncle. I have done some research online to try and find out what they are and their value. From what I have found out so far, I don't think I will be retiring on the proceeds of their sale! Anyway, there are quite a few coins that I haven't been successful in finding much information on. The attached image is of one of these. From what I have found out, I think it is a Charles II twopence. I wonder if anyone could confirm this and/or give me a rough guide to value (or direct me to somewhere that I might get an idea of its valued).

Thanks,

John.

Hello John,

It is a Charles II silver threepence (the amount of interlinked C's on the reverse signify the denomination).

It is the commonest date and denomination of all C II small silver, arguably of all of his coinage, and looks to have a crease in the flan. The value is around £5.

Regards,

John.

Thanks for your reply John. I couldn't figure out where the denomination on the coin was and didn't realise that those were C's on the back. It is slightly damaged alright.

Regards,

John.
