<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1765640, member: 112&quot;]There is no difference between business strikes and maundy coins in most cases. That&#039;s because maundy coins were taken from the business strike runs, put in their bags, and given to the recipients. Only in more modern years, after silver stopped being used, is there a difference.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, there are many occasions when coins are offered for sale as maundy coins from older monarchs, when they are not maundy coins, especially on ebay. This practice has been going on for years.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So how do you tell the difference when there is no difference ? You have to know your coins is how. For example, George I ruled from 1714 to 1727. But he only issued maundy coins in 2 of those years, 1723 &amp; 1727. George III ruled from 1760 to 1820, but he only issued maundy coins in 12 of those 60 years. The list goes on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
