How do you clean Australian threepence?

If you are hoping to add value to the coin, DO NOT CLEAN IT with anything. Cleaning of coins damages the finish and reduces value. All Australian Threepences were made from sterling silver from 1910 to 1944, or 50% silver from 1947 to 1964. If you have an otherwise valueless coin that you would just like to clean so that it looks nice, try any of the commercially available jewellery cleaners.


How much is a Australian Internment camp threepence token coin worth?

An Australian World War I squarish aluminium Threepence Internment Camp token (German eagle on obverse), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to $5,600 AUD. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from $1,000 to $3,200 AUD. An Australian World War II round copper alloy Threepence Internment Camp token (with hole in the centre) uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to $300 AUD. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from $100 to $250 AUD. There are variants of this token, so an expert inspection is advised to identify the token correctly. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

What is a 1943 british three pence coin worth?

It depends on the type of threepence. A nickel-brass (multiple sided) threepence is rather common and would sell for 50p to a pound or so if circulated. A silver threepence on the other hand is 50% silver (and much smaller) and worth about a pound or two mostly for the silver if circulated.


How much was a threepence worth in 1970 in American money?

A Threepence is a denomination of the old predecimal British currency system and dates back to the time of Edward VI. The Threepenny coin was also used by many other Commonwealth countries. From 1831, the Threepence was made from 92.5% silver, but from 1920 onwards, the silver content was reduced to 50%. From 1937, the British Threepence was redesigned as a dodecagonal (12 sided) coin and was made from a nickel brass alloy. The 50% silver coin and the dodecagonal coin circulated side by side until 1945. Since 1816, the round silver Threepence was 16 mm in diameter and weighed 1.4138 grams and had a plain edge, and was last minted in 1945. The dodecagonal (12 sided) nickel brass Threepence was 21-22 mm in diameter and weighed 6.8 grams and had a plain edge. It was first minted in 1937 and last minted in 1967. A Threepenny coin represented Three Pennies (3d) or, quarter of a Shilling. It was also known to many as the "thrupenny bit" and the sum of three pence was pronounced "throopence" "threppence" or "thruppence" in various regions of Great Britain. At Britains conversion to decimal currency in February, 1971, the Threepence had no new decimal equivalent coin, but was equal to 1.25 New Pence in the new currency. The Threepence ceased to be Legal Tender after 31-Aug-1971. From a coin collectors perspective, a Threepence, depending on the year, condition and method of minting, could be worth anything from a few pence to several thousand pounds GBP. Please note that since the Threepence is part of a redundant or obsolete currency, it no longer has an "exchange rate" with other currencies.
