<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 70904, member: 283&quot;]In 1962 there were two threepence pices. One was a twelve sided nickel brass chunk. Maybe looks like gold but its brass through and through. It was never minted in anything else. There are `proof&#039; versions of this type but they are not exactly common or sitting waiting to be discovered in someone&#039;s junk box. it may be that this is what is on offer for £95, but to be honest I would doubt it. Without seeing an image of the coin in question it is pretty well impossible to say whether it is a proof coin or normal circulation strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second type is what is termed `Maundy Money&#039;. You can do a search at Google.com if you want to know any more concerning Maundy Money. The Maundy type is small, round, and made of silver. It was never minted in anything other than silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Neither of these two types are/ were copper nickel so I would suggest that you ignore the site you got that information from in the future. It sounds to be pretty duff.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can see images of three pence coins here:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.tclayton.demon.co.uk/pics/three.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tclayton.demon.co.uk/pics/three.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.tclayton.demon.co.uk/pics/three.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
