Thanks for the info Nancy. As for the 3 pence, I have few. I started to collect foreign coins other than Canadian (1966) about 10 yrs ago. It's not that large but I now have over 60 countries' coins.....95% of them silver. My top foreign collecting interests are Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. As for U S coins? I lost interest in collecting anymore of them many, many snows ago.
