The exact name and address of the individual is not known, but the Threepence was introduced into the English currency during the reign of King Edward VI around 1551.

The coin was not very popular initially, and was reintroduced during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I in about 1561.

Yes, the 1939 coin is worth more, but only in Mint Uncirculated condition, otherwise they are worth about the same. The 1942 "One Dot" Threepence is a minting error and represents about 8% of the 1942 Threepences minted.


What does a 1920 British Threepence look like?

Pictures of a specific coin are difficult to come by. Frequently you should be able to find one on eBay, but the picture is withdrawn after the coin is sold. The British 1920 Threepence changed from sterling silver to 50% silver during the course of 1920. There are no obviously apparent visual distinctions between the two types of coin. The 1920 Threepence is almost identical to the 1925 Threepence shown. See the link below.


How do you tell a fake 1922 Threepence?

There is no particuarly good reason why a British 1922 Threepence would be fake, they are not particularly valuable and not rare. However, the coin should have the appearance of any other 1922 Threepence with the images both properly struck. The obverse and reverse of the coin should be correctly aligned. The coin should be 16mm in diameter and weigh 1.414 grams. If in doubt, take it to a reputable coin dealer.
