Looking for information

[Guest linalbdrew]

Hi,

My father used to collect coins and when he died they came to me as i also have an interest.

I have a 12 sided 3d bit, George vi on one side, thistle 1937 on other, it is silver in colour. I have tried to find this on line in the past but no luck.

Is it part of a maundy set? Does anyone have any information that would help.

Thanks

The brass 3d has a thrift plant on the reverse, not a thistle. On the assumption it is a standard 3d but silver in colour, I would expect it to have been plated post issue.

This must have happened quite a bit. Someone earlier mentioned they had one in these forums, and I have one I picked up as part of an auction lot. Though to be strictly accurate, mine has been 'chromed' I think, rather than 'silvered'?

Thanks Rob & Peckris for that information
