<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24586132, member: 101855&quot;]I have been studying the coinage during the reign of King George III. During that time there was a severe coin shortage because the Town of London Mint was old and antiquated.</p><p><br /></p><p>I noted in the Spink guide that there are extensive listings for the 1, 2, 3 and 4 pence silver coins in the circulated grades. Did those coins, which were used for Maundy sets, have any impact on the coin shortage? Did they just slip out into circulation after they were issued, or were they made to be used in commerce?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
