<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lawtoad, post: 2005417, member: 31685&quot;]My understanding for the Australian 3 Pence coins is that in 1921 there are two versions to collect, one with the &quot;M&quot; mint mark and one without, assumed to be from the Sydney Mint.&nbsp; From 1922 to 1926 they were struck at both the Melbourne and Sydney mints with no distinguishing mint marks. After 1927 all 3 pences were struck at Melbourne Mint except during WWII. In 1942 and 1943 Melbourne Denver and San San Francisco Mints all produced 3 pences and are distinguished by a small &quot;S&quot; or &quot;D&quot; just below the ribbon underlining the date and in 1944 only the San Francisco Mint produced 3 pences. There are two types of 1951 3 pences, due to a request to the Royal Mint to help out with a shortage, these where the only English coins in threepence to have a mint mark, being a small &quot;PL&quot; found either side of the wheat stalks below the lower folds in the ribbon underlining the date.&nbsp; I got this info from various sources, but I think, from my reading it is fairly accurate.&nbsp; If I am wrong I feel confident that someone will correct me.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
