<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 1683789, member: 40017&quot;]Good question well presented! For most years Krause and other sources list a mintage figure, but for 1842 apparently not - except in proof. Having said that, the values given in Spinks are broadly the same as for adjacent years, so it would seem similar numbers will have been made - in the order of 200000. Bear in mind this date, along with quite a few other threepence dates around that time, were issued primarily for use in the colonies.</p><p><br /></p><p>In Spinks, 1842 is listed as a GBP 10 coin in Fine condition, which is why I was startled by the sale price. The really scarce dates are 1847, 1848 and 1852 listing at 50, 40 and 60 respectively.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
